+Using the autoboot restart command (in combination with configuring the
+state machine to wait) is necessary because the stop command would stop
+the autoboot thread, and the driver offers no working way to start it

+The disconnection code is also moved to a separate function, so it can
+be called in other exit code paths than the one for SIGTERM.
