NAME

sulogin − access single-user mode

SYNOPSIS

sulogin

DESCRIPTION

sulogin is automatically invoked by init when the system is first started.  It prompts the user to type the root password to enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type EOF (typically CTRL-d) for normal startup (multi-user mode).  sulogin should never be directly invoked by the user.
