these look good but i'm waiting for man pages, while meanwhile i bake my
own toolset.

reboot.c currently detects paging. is there a way to have it detect disk
i/o in general?

note, 30 seconds isn't always enough. on a DCC server with 4GB mmap()'d,
i've run out of time. so, a sysctl for both the minimum (currently 5
seconds) and maximum (currently 30 seconds) reboot i/o drain period
would be great. i would code these and submit them if these changes were
welcomed.
