I think we need a well defined notion of 'boot'
What about this: on server startup, we do this:
if (wine_need_reboot())
spawn("wineboot");
The thing is:
1. dead simple
2. atomic, avoids races
3. fast
Surely I may be missing something, but what's wrong with the above?
(mind you, I know nothing about the server, but still... :))
