Ability to perform instance reboot using limactl cli

[hasan4791]

Description

If we have sockets shared across host & guest, issuing reboot from the instance is breaking the connection. I had to run 2 commands inorder to reboot the instance from limactl. So it would be great if we provide reboot feature from limactl itself.

You can do stop and start

[hasan4791]

yes, but if cli supports reboot which does stop&start, it would be great.

@AkihiroSuda I'm working on this one and have an issue. I'm calling stopAction initially which is stopping the instance fine and calling startAction which starts the instance, but the limactl commands never throws any output of hostagent and the process stays awake untill ctrl+c. I believe it has something to do with the context, but what it is, I dont know.

Does the current context is released by stopAction when its done?

Is this issue open to work , as there has been no update on it since a year and more
