The delegation is performed at the very last steps of system shutdown,
|
||||
if reboot has been selected and an elected watchdog is known, first a

`SIGPWR` is sent to advise watchdogd of the pending reboot. Then, when
|

the necessary steps of preparing the system for shutdown (umount etc.)
|

are completed, Finit sends `SIGTERM` to watchdogd and puts itself in a

10 sec timeout loop waiting for the WDT to reset the board. If a reset
|
||||
is not done before the timeout, Finit falls back to`reboot(RB_AUTOBOOT)`
|

which tells the kernel to do the reboot.
