It exits the shell, and when it has successfully (!) done that,
then it waits 5 seconds and finally reboots. However, how does
the shell do that if it has been exited?

In my WindowMaker configuration, I have set the following command
for system shutdown:

	xterm -class SHUTDOWN -fg black -bg red -e "shutdown -p now; read DUMMY"

It is associated with the Ctrl+Alt+Moon key combination (Sun USB
type 7 keyboard). For a reboot, a similar command could be used,
just with -r instead of -p.
