This would be distinct from 'shutdown -r' how? Is there a reason you want to "completely" restart userland and *not* reboot (for instance, wanting to keep existing mounts, etc)? A case could be made that for a "complete" restart, you need to trash those mounts too (if you're restarting to get a 'clean' setup, you want to actually be clean), and so forth. --==_Exmh_-679395698P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE/prSqcC3lWbTT17ARAv/WAJ9CRz76PcQtCBPr0o5p0xokUtlJGgCgv9Wp 51QRdJomGz6PRmqg5jYLngU= =u3y8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-679395698P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
