I thought all average init's supported SIGTERM/SIGKILL type graceful
terminations ... is this not true?  I haven't seen what minit's got ... but a
small sig handler would be easy enough to add, if it doesn't come up
to scratch.  Then you could make your reboot/shutdown a kill 1.

Even if this was done only to support the two init's that you supply ..
