What is the different of Linux command: "init 6" and "reboot"?

-

Answer -

* "reboot" is more a kernel level command and normally does not call the shutdown scripts for applications. But it will work even if you have a truncated $PATH variable.

* Use reboot for problematic situations, or to force a reboot.

* "init 6" depends a lot of the /etc/inittab files and gurantees that the shutdown scripts will be called for each application that is defined.

* Use init 6 for all normal operations.

BLAFS is a bloat-aware filesystem for container debloating. The design principles of BLAFS are effective, efficient, and easy to use. It detects the files used by the container, and then debloats the container by removing the unused files. The debloated containers are still functional and can run the same workload as the original containers, but with a much smaller size and faster deployment. https://github.com/negativa-ai/BLAFS?tab=readme-ov-file
