REBOOT(8)                            BSD                             REBOOT(8)



NAME
     reboot - reboot the processor

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/reboot [ -n ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION
     The reboot command writes out cached pages to the disks and then reboots
     the processor.  Hardware self-tests are run and the system software
     automatically returns to the login : message.

     You must be logged in as "root" to run reboot.  If you aren't, you'll get
     the following error message:

     reboot: can't idle init

OPTIONS
     -n        Prevent the sync before rebooting.

     -q        Reboot quickly, without first shutting down running processes.

NOTES
     The node must be in "normal" (not service) mode when you reboot.  reboot
     is not supported for sau2 (DN3xx) and sau5 (DN5xx, non-turbo) processors.
