NAME
reboot - reboot the system
SYNOPSIS
/etc/reboot
DESCRIPTION
reboot generates a Maintenance Reset Function (MRF), causing
the processor to enter its system bootstrap code, thereby
rebooting the system. It can be used to reboot the
processor remotely, but this is practical only if a terminal
line is enabled in /etc/inittab for state 1 so that the file
systems can be checked and state 2 entered.
Since the boot sequence will prompt for a pathname at the
system console if PROMPT UNIX is set in the EAI, make sure
that this is not the case.
reboot will enter the boot sequence immediately, without
flushing the internal system buffers. It must be used with
extreme caution.
