Pardon me if this question sounds dense. I'm looking at the vpsreboot
code, since I'd like to understand everything there is to know about
VZ....

The vpsreboot cronjob runs every 5 minutes. It looks for a /reboot file in
each VE's directory; if it exists and the VE is stopped, it starts the VE.
Sounds good but... what exactly is the point of this functionality?

Is it used as part of the VZ startup sequence, or for watchdogging, ...?
