NAME
       coldreboot - Force a cold reboot bypassing kexec-tools default

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/coldreboot [reboot options]


DESCRIPTION
       coldreboot is a script that forces a cold reboot regardless of whether kexec is enabled or
       not in /etc/default/kexec.  coldreboot takes the same arguments as /sbin/reboot and passes
       them on to /sbin/reboot later.


NOTES
       coldreboot  prevents a kexec kernel from being loaded automatically and thus forces a cold
       reboot. If the user loads a kexec kernel by hand, coldreboot will still result in a  kexec
       reboot.
