So, I tried to fumble a little with Linux syscalls and tried to implement a program that restarts the computer. [preformatted] After a quick, successful test, I checked how others implement the reboot. To my surprise, busybox tries to send a signal to init instead of using the reboot syscall, like I did. This makes me wonder, why that is.
