NAME
     rc6 - run commands performed to stop and reboot the  operat-
     ing 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 initde-
          fault entry in the /sbin/inittab file to bring the sys-
          tem 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)].

     shutdown(1M), inittab(4).
