reboot(1M)                                             reboot(1M)



NAME
     reboot - reboots the operating system

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

ARGUMENTS
     -h   Halts the system and does not restart the processor.

     -l   Disables system logging.

     -n   Avoids the use of the sync command, which is invoked
          only if a disk is having serious trouble and needs to
          be brought down immediately.

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

DESCRIPTION
     reboot causes, by default, information in the disk buffers
     to be written to disk (using the sync command), file systems
     to be unmounted, and background support processes to be
     terminated (such as the print spooler).  A system restart is
     then initiated.  Only a user logged in to the root account
     can use reboot.

     The reboot command usually uses syslog to record the reboot
     and places a shutdown record in the login accounting file
     /usr/adm/wtmp. These actions are inhibited by the -n or -q
     option.
