I did not give a lot of thoughts into the different types of reboot 
(warm, soft, cold) and just went with an extension of whichever reboot 
type we have to be supplemented by the "powercycle" command. It seems 
like we should support both the reboot type and command, it would be 
fine with me if I had to specify reboot_mode + cmd for each reboot_mode.
