rc6(1M)                                                             rc6(1M)


   NAME
         rc6 - run commands performed to stop and reboot the operating system

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/sbin/rc6

   DESCRIPTION
         The shell script rc6 is run whenever a transition to run state 6 is
         requested either through init 6 or shutdown -i6.

         The sequence of events in rc6 is as follows:

         ⊕     check to see if a new bootable operating system (/stand/unix)
               needs to be built;  if so, build one by running the buildsys
               command

         ⊕     unmount all file systems

         Then init executes the initdefault entry in the /sbin/inittab file to
         bring the system to the operating state defined by that entry.

         Note that if an error occurs while buildsys is building a new
         bootable operating system, a shell is spawned that will exit only to
         firmware state;  [see buildsys(1M)].
