FWIW, I've been told by at least one 'greybeard' that using shutdown and reboot is a bad habit to get into, because on many other OS's, they don't do a clean shutdown. I always use shutdown -(h|r) now (well, except on my vinum box which seems to lock up with anything other than halt :( ). Also, unless you honest-to-God really need to reboot (basically, if you've changed the kernel), you can usually just do a shutdown now, hit return when it asks for a shell, and type exit. That will re-run almost all of the rc processes.
