When I do the following: kill -s SIGINT 1 It runs rc.shutdown with the argument "reboot" and reboots the system, just like it's supposed to. But when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del at a virtual terminal, it doesn't. That makes me suspect that either Ctrl+Alt+Del is sending a different interrupt to PID 1, or the SIGINT it's sending isn't getting to PID 1. I'll try to research if further.
