Make shutdown/reboot commands configurable

Open ncopa opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Some systems, like Alpine Linux, may not use /sbin/shutdown to power off or reboot. Add configure option so user can set the correct commands.

It would be nice if {REBOOT,SHUTDOWN}_COMMAND was set to the correct value based on $os, rather than having to rely on __sun and __FreeBSD__.
