Sorry, but can you explain what problem this solves? It's a bit unclear to me why you'd use this.

Thanks!

If you as using an ubuntu base box, and then the built in docker provisioner if you try to ssh into you box docker will not be available as it requires a system reboot. This plugin add a reboot as part of the provisioning process

+1 that is a great explanation, @thomaswelton. Here's some github issues created on docker/vagrant for this:

etc.

Thanks for this plugin. For a Windows box this is also very useful to continue provisioning after a reboot. But is it possible to place this provision step in between others? So that after the reload another shell provisioner can continue the provisioning? I think of base provisioning, join a domain, reboot, continue provisioning in the domain...

Big +1! Even provisioning after reload works:

    config.vm.provision "shell", path: "scripts/provision.bat"

    config.vm.provision :serverspec do |spec|
      spec.pattern = 'test/*_spec.rb'
    end

    config.vm.provision :reload

    config.vm.provision "shell", path: "scripts/provision-after-reboot.bat"

I have moved your pluing in the Available Vagrant Plugins page from Uncategorized up to Provisioners. That could help others find your plugin more easily.
