I'm sure I'm not the only sysadmin who's SSH'ed in to an ill box, decided
a reboot was needed, and typed 'shutdown -i6 -g0 -y' (runlevel 6 to
reboot, zero seconds grace, and don't prompt me), and instead realized 7
seconds later that what the other end *received* was '-i0 -g6 -y'
(poweroff with 6 seconds warning), and made a bad situation worse.
Because that requires a non convoluted OS such as BSD. None of that -thousand -switches -from -hell -SYSV -stuff. :-)
