Usage: shutdown [OPTION]... TIME [MESSAGE]
Bring the system down.

Usage: reboot [OPTION]...
Reboot the system.

Just out of curiousity. Why no 'time' for reboot? These commands are
similar in purpose, so one would expect that level of consistency
between them

I'll also be happy go back on my previous rant which may otherwise have
come across as rude, if it can be explained why 'shutdown now' does not
halt the system by default. It would seem to me that 'power-off' is a
far more intuitive default action to be associated with 'shutdown TIME'
than merely reverting to single-user mode? Why doesn't single-user mode
require an argument the way halt would anyway?
