No ideas yet, but why do you power off your machine with such init-foo
magic? Why not simply "poweroff" or "reboot"? Since Solaris Nevada
sysv-style usage of "init" has been made obsolete. They also do not
allow you to use the advanced reboot capabilities available since Nevada
("reboot -e" and "reboot -f").
