Kickstart not rebooting on completion

[Phillip Groven]

I use the following 
########################################################################
####
# tell big daddy we are all done
cat /root/install.log /root/anaconda-ks.cfg | mail -s 'ks install'
myemail at domain.com
shutdown -r now


If I use reboot instead of shutdown -r now then Ananconda complains but
almost always reboots anyway.
