The above is intended as an edit to the existing shutdown/reboot test case, which I can see on the Wiki page I mentioned. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_base_shutdown/reboot I'm being a bit lazy here, as I didn't try to introduce myself or gain access to the Wiki and see what format it uses. The above is formatted like Markdown. Then I used +/- markers to show changed lines (modulo some artistic license and, uh, I think I missed the + markers for steps 6 and 7 :-). I'm not intending to join the team at the moment, but I hope this is a worthwhile suggestion to y'all who are organising the tests.
