In my situation I prefer to allways reboot because the machines are not
accesible to me. Now I have a machine halted and I´m waiting for a person to
push the power button.

Perhaps in the final situation it would be better to halt the system, but
now I need to make a reboot!

What a long time to push a button!!!! perhaps they have to wait 108 minutes
to push the button as in "LOST"  ;-))))

Greetings,

ESG
