Title: should have some way to indicate shutdown or reboot Status in Init scripts for use on cloud images: Fix Released Bug description: At [1], I put in place change like below as a way to shut down cleanly, and avoid the annoying messages cloud-init spews if you run /sbin/poweroff from inside a user-data script. Basically, at the end of my user-data I would do something like this: # delay the poweroff to avoid annoying cloud-init messages sh -fc 'i=0; while [ $i -lt 30 ] && i=$(($i+1)); do state=$(status cloud-final); set -- $state case "$2" in stop/*) poweroff; exit 0;; esac echo "$state [$2] after $i" sleep 1 done echo "giving up after 30 seconds" poweroff' </dev/null & That actually works fine, but its a bit more involved than it should be. I can think of 2 ways to somewhat cleanly expose this: cloud-init request-poweroff [type [delay]] where 'type' would be 'reboot', 'poweroff' ... and cloud-init would somehow handle making that happen "delay" seconds after it finished cloud-final. Secondly, it'd be nice to have that as a cloud-config option also. #cloud-config shutdown: reboot 30 request-poweroff could just put a marker file in /run that would be read when cloud-final finished.
