unreliable reboot command [released]

How about..(devel-su first)

shutdown -r now

Works for me everytime..;)

this is a comment, not answering anyting :) as i didn't ask anything...

and no. i'm 5 and i want to use reboot

however shutdown -r now seems to do things little differently. (shouldn't reboot call shutdown -r unless forced?)

Interesting, both rebootand shutdown are symlinks to systemctl.
Looking at systemd sources there is this:

if (program_invocation_short_name) {
    if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "halt")) {
        arg_action = ACTION_HALT;
        return halt_parse_argv(argc, argv);
    } else if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "poweroff")) {
        arg_action = ACTION_POWEROFF;
        return halt_parse_argv(argc, argv);
    } else if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "reboot")) {
        if (kexec_loaded())
            arg_action = ACTION_KEXEC;
        else
            arg_action = ACTION_REBOOT;
            return halt_parse_argv(argc, argv);
       } else if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "shutdown")) {
       ...

and I wonder whether in Jolla case it gets to the kexec reboot.
Anyway we are in the magic world of systemd ;)

why i didn't look where it links :P

Seem shutdown -r makes same things as reboot

case 'r':
  if (kexec_loaded())
    arg_action = ACTION_KEXEC;
  else
    arg_action = ACTION_REBOOT;
break;

But there is a difference, with reboot halt_parse_argv() gets called, where is this

if (utmp_get_runlevel(&runlevel, NULL) >= 0)
  if (runlevel == '0' || runlevel == '6')
    arg_force = 2;

so shutdown -r does not force reboot depending on runlevel?

Noticeable difference is that shutdown -r gracefully terminates ssh session, but reboot leaves it open.

when calling dsmetool -b, it will finally call systemctl --no-block reboot and, when pressing power-key to shutdown, dsme calls systemctl --no-block shutdown

systemctl --no-block reboot causes backlight to go bright, then display goes off and reboot cycle starts.

/usr/sbin/reboot and shutdown -r now seems to cause popup saying sim-card is removed before rebooting - sometimes.

ok, got it reproduced. display off and devicelock active, reboot -> stuck, green led blinking few times,after ~minute it woke up (or did i press powerkey..)

Display off, devicelock active dsmetool -b -> clean reboot

meh, i don't know. I use my alias.
