I've just re-read this, and realised you have not understood my mail on this a month ago. My proposed format was (originally s/<call>/<action>/): vshelper <call> <ctx> [<arg...>] Where <call> depends on the system call or unique area of request from the context. <call> would in fact *not* be "reboot" if vshelper was called from somewhere else in the kernel. If you say that <action> must be one of restart|halt|poweroff... then I say that the userspace helper should be called vsreboot and should not be used for anything other than responding to sys_reboot. Then we can implement another tool for any other userspace interaction.
