system ( "reboot") would be cleaner for when busybox changes.

For now, busybox has 

    extern int
    reboot_main(int argc, char ** argv)
    {
	exit( kill(1, SIGUSR2));
    }

but that _will_ change some time. The current approach fails 
when using an initrd, since then init will run as pid 6 or so.
