Because it doesn't hook sys_reboot to get notified about reboots.
It hooks sys_reboot to add new calls, it could have been a new
system call, but what monte does is slightly related to a reboot.
I have myself added a feature to monte where it was essential to
hook the sys_reboot call and do something else when a reboot was
requested. Maybe I could have used a reboot notifier.
What really bothers me about monte is:
1) Doesn't work on SMP
2) Doesn't seem to be maintened (does it even work on 2.5)?
3) Is not completely stable
4) Only available as a module, cannot be compiled in kernel.
5) I couldn't get my additional feature working with the latest
version of monte.
Perhaps there is some better alternative which I don't know?
