reboot(1M)                                             reboot(1M)



     NAME
          reboot - reboot the operating system

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

     DESCRIPTION
          By default, reboot causes the disks to terminate processes
          (using the sync command) and filesystems to be unmounted.  A
          system restart is then initiated.  Only the super-user may
          reboot a machine.

     FLAG OPTIONS
          The flag options to reboot are:

          -h   Halt the system and do not restart the processor.

          -n   Avoids the sync.  It can be used if a disk is on fire.

          -q   Reboots quickly and ungracefully, without shutting down
               running processes first.

          -l   Disable system logging.

          reboot normally logs the reboot using syslog(1M) and places
          a shutdown record in the login accounting file
          /usr/adm/wtmp. These actions are inhibited if the -n or -q
          options are present.
