[patch] halt/reboot/shutdown cleanup

[Peter Jeremy]

[My vote on the halt/reboot/shutdown issue is that halt(8) & reboot(8)
should just be wrappers around reboot(2) and shutdown(8) should clean
up and run the rc.d shutdown scripts - but maybe I'm showing my age]

You can control much of that via /etc/periodic.conf - see
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf for details.

You probably still have a non-empty /etc/dumpdates.  Unfortunately,
you can't separately control the "df -h" and "dump W" output[1] but
an empty /etc/dumpdates will reduce it to one line.

[1] I think we're getting to the point where 400.status-disks should
    be split into 2.  dump(8) is becoming increasingly less relevant.
