In EC2 and other cloud platforms, the console data is programmatically available.
Our tests in EC2 collect this console output on shutdown / reboot /terminate. The data is very useful.
in cloud-init i've added timestamps to output so that information is available in the console log.
One thing missing (which cloud-init has no hooks for) is 'shutdown' or 'reboot'.
I'd like for upstart to write a message to /dev/console saying:
rebooting Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:52:45 -0400
or something like that.
I'd be happy if the 'nih_info' messages in util/reboot.c
had at timestamp on them, and got written to /dev/console by default (they do not seem to).
