Since we're collecting %pre reboot entries, here's one
where I brought in the reboot binary:

I don't think this does much cleanup either, but being a
binary, you can call it via SSH (in my %pre I currently
add ntpdate, sshd, /dev/vcs, and reboot).

reboot(RB_AUTOBOOT);

This thing doesn't sync your disks or kill your processes or anything nice
like that, it's the digital equivalent of an ice pick through the brain, so
be careful if you intend to use it in an environment where the data on the
disks matters...
