- use of `init 6` will give the cleanest and orderly reboot (init informs svc.startd of the runlevel change and will move to the appropriate milestone).
- use of `shutdown -y -g0 -i6 **message**` will invoke init as well as give you grace period and messages to user (shutdown invoked the same as init above).
- halt,reboot,poweroff will not run any of the shutdown scripts and should be last resort.
