Thx.

Looking at your inittab file, I think I know why "reboot" shuts
the machine off...  Your shutdown sequence calls /bin/poweroff:

    ::shutdown:/bin/poweroff

which causes your machine to poweroff.  Don't put poweroff in
your shutdown sequence unless you _always_ want to poweroff
when you reboot, halt, or poweroff.

Why is job-control relevant?  Is something else wrong?
