Tip: Faster reboot

[Jon Solworth]

To speed up reboot from dom0 type

qvm-shutdown --all --wait
reboot

Its much faster than a restart from the login screen

In my experience, 95% of the wait time is caused by sys-usb and sys-net taking forever to shut down. I just kill those, then reboot.

(Reposting my comments on #1581 and #1826.)

FWIW, I've been using simple shutdown and reboot scripts to work
around this issue (I think since I first started using Qubes). Here's
an example:

```
#!/bin/bash
qvm-shutdown --wait --all \
- --exclude=sys-net \
- --exclude=sys-firewall \
- --exclude=sys-usb \
- --exclude=sys-whonix \
- --exclude=sys-vpn \
- --exclude=sys-etc \
qvm-shutdown --wait --all
sleep 3
shutdown now
```

Works every time. The idea is to exclude all service VMs from the
first pass of qvm-shutdown so that it doesn't jam up (#1826), so if
you use VPN VMs, exclude those too. (This works for me even if there
are more than 5 VMs still running after the first pass.)

If you're really in a hurry, you can use substitute qvm-kill for
sys-usb and sys-net, as Foppe suggested.

I guess there is some formatting problems here? The '-' in the beginning of all the --exclude lines should be removed I think?

Is it possible to substitute Andrew's shutdown for the login screens shutdown?

Yeah. Would be great usability improvement if we had it as default install of Qubes. Could you, Qubes folks, please log it as "usability feature request" for next Qubes release?

Correct. Enigmail automatically inserts them. (It also automatically removes them, so if you were using Enigmail, you wouldn't see them.)

I've also noticed that VMs that has pci devices assigned tend to be much more slower on the shutdown/reboot it seems that hang a long time, to the point that a pop up message appears stating if the user wants to kill the respective vms.
With the appvms that have no pci devices attached, they are much more faster in the reboot/shutdown
