NAME
       coldreboot - Force a cold reboot bypassing kexec-tools default

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/coldreboot [reboot options]

DESCRIPTION
       coldreboot is a script that forces a cold reboot regardless of whether kexec is enabled or not in /etc/default/kexec.  coldreboot takes the
       same arguments as /sbin/reboot and passes them on to /sbin/reboot later.

NOTES
       coldreboot prevents a kexec kernel from being loaded automatically and thus forces a cold reboot. If the user loads a kexec kernel by hand,
       coldreboot will still result in a kexec reboot.
