CP enthusiasts think of "shutdown reipl"; Unix types think of "init 6." Even Windows has a restart option on its line-mode shutdown command.

The point is that the client has to be willing to accept a second signal, one that means, "start over again, please."

Of course, if you don't feel like modifying both CP and Linux, you might find it easier to use one of those external agents.

(I'm getting challenged on this by the guy who allegedly ran SFS on HPO 5??? :-) )

I would like to see how that would be implemented, the die and come back
part, without some external agent being involved.

Nothing tells the guest to re-start itself, so perhaps we'd
want a second signal besides, "SHUTDOWN" to differentiate
between "die," and "die and come back."

But, you're in the right neighborhood.
