There's no particular magic in manage_restart -- the signal handlers do 
almost exactly the same thing.

Reasons to prefer TTW restart/shutdown:
- logging of who requested it
- restart can be automatic (and thus slightly faster)

Reasons to prefer console restart/shutdown:
- can fix things if startup doesn't take
- can see messages, if any

So basically for routine use, TTW is good. If there's any possibility of 
trouble, go console.
