Hello,
what is the best practice to shutdown or reboot the Pi4 Balena via Python?

I tried
via subprocess or systemctl (not found)

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.

Failed to talk to init daemon.

How should one shutdown the system or reboot it? Thanks
