rc6(1M)                                                             rc6(1M)

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

SYNOPSIS
     /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 there is a new operating system to be rebooted, via
        the existence of the file /etc/.newunix. If this file exists, it
        carefully moves the kernel from /etc/conf/cf.d/unix into
        /stand/unix and links /unix to it. Any errors will result in an
        attempt to restore things.

     -  unmount all file systems, then reboot the system. The system will
        come up in a state defined by the initdefault entry in
        /etc/inittab.

SEE ALSO
     init(1M), rc0(1M), rc2(1M), shutdown(1M), inittab(4).
