This is from the new SysV init - I know for a fact because I just installed it last night, and I am still fiddling with it. (I had been using a very old a.out Slackware 1.0 init and scripts)
The new package removes the reboot capability from 'shutdown' and puts it in 'reboot'. If you don't install *everything* *AND* do as the instructions say, you will have problems. The 'reboot' utility is actually a link to 'halt', which can either halt or reboot.
Note: I recommend you use the 'old' rc scripts (simple), and not the new SysV scripts (more complicated)
