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.
