Description Petr Beňas 2011-07-07 11:22:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
I see strange power command queuing on webUI system reboot. Previously, the power command took effect immediately. The system is stuck on kernel bug and I'm unable to force reboot due this strange power command queuing bug/feature.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.14

How reproducible:
always for ibm-ls41-02.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com, ibm-js22-08.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com, sassmann reports the same for dell-pet410-02.lab.bos.redhat.com

Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot the system from webUI multiple times. The 'power command enqueued message' is printed out for every attempt and lines in Recent Power Commands added with Queued status.
  
Actual results:
<hostname> power reboot command enqueued

Expected results:
immediate reboot

Additional info:
The same for power on/of command, does not apply for reboot only.

There was an issue where the power command queue was stuck.  We reset the queue and are monitoring it.

Because a power command can take quite a while it is not practical to run these in the foreground of the web session.  Also, without the queue its possible to run conflicting power commands at the same time.

> Because a power command can take quite a while

it would make sense to merge requests, so we do not keep rebooting machine when the user is not patient enough:

reboot + reboot -> reboot
reboot + poweroff -> poweroff
poweroff + poweron -> reboot
...
