I chatted a bit with james, and he also said:
<smoser> woudl it be possible to have a single job that fired on halt, poweroff, reboot?
<jodh> that job will fire on halt/poweroff/reboot already.
<jodh> console output prolly makes more sense, yeah, so just drop the redirection.
<smoser> so if it runs on halt/poweroff/reboot, is there a way that i can determine which?
<jodh> yes - the RUNLEVEL variable in that job will be set to 0, 1, or 6. See "man 7 runlevel" for details
<jodh> bear in mind that the job needs to be quick as if things take too long on shutdown, they get killed of course.
So, i suggest we just add this to cloud-init ubuntu packaging.

Title:
write timestamp to console on halt/reboot/shutdown
Status in “cloud-init” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In EC2 and other cloud platforms, the console data is programmatically
available.
Our tests in EC2 collect this console output on shutdown / reboot
/terminate. The data is very useful.
in cloud-init i've added timestamps to output so that information is available in the console log.
One thing missing (which cloud-init has no hooks for) is 'shutdown' or 'reboot'.
I'd like for upstart to write a message to /dev/console saying:
rebooting Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:52:45 -0400
or something like that.
I'd be happy if the 'nih_info' messages in util/reboot.c
had at timestamp on them, and got written to /dev/console by default (they do not seem to).
