Right... I just was trying to avoid having to do that if the shutdown
hung for some reason, or the system was locked down too busy or some
such.  Having a clean reboot hot-key would be preferable to a hardware
reset since the disks would avoid needing an fsck, which would take a
*long* time on some of the boxes. ;-)
