[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#402877: initscripts: should try to kexec

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-36
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

It would be useful to have /etc/init.d/reboot try to run kexec if it is
available:

 	# Message should end with a newline since kFreeBSD may
 	# print more stuff (see #323749)
 	log_action_msg "Will now restart"
+	[ -x /sbin/kexec ] && /sbin/kexec -e
 	reboot -d -f -i
 }

Samuel
