reacting to respawn giving up?

[Janne Karhunen]

Hi,

Finally got around to this. There's a hacky patch attached that
introduces 'reboot' stanza that will issue reboot given that we
hit respawn limit for 'reboot' marked task. While this seems
working, issuing reboot is probably not the correct way to
reboot. Scott, your comments?
