While playing around with Win2K3 recently, I noticed that it brings up a dialog at every reboot / shutdown and asks for a reason for said reboot / shutdown. So I was bored tonight, and decided to implement that feature in FreeBSD's reboot(8) with a -r flag. Here's a diff against a -CURRENT reboot.c, checked out about five minutes ago.
