There is a slight problem with the cmd2nd mechanism, because it is run
unconditionally after the main command. The problem is that the main
command can fail when the user enters a non-existent profile name. The
main command can also be called without argument and then prints
information about which RARE generation will be activated at the next
restart.  In both cases, we obviously don't want to perform a warm
start.

What you could do is to make the execution of the cmd2nd depend on the
exit status of the main command.  What do you think?
