reboot(1M_BSD)       (BSD System Compatibility)       reboot(1M_BSD)


       NAME
             reboot - (BSD) restart the operating system

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/reboot [-dlnq] [boot arguments]

       DESCRIPTION
             reboot restarts the kernel.  The kernel is loaded into memory
             by the PROM monitor, which transfers control to it.

             Although reboot can be run by the privileged user at any time,
             shutdown(1M) is normally used first to warn all users logged
             in of the impending loss of service.  See shutdown(1M) for
             details.

             reboot performs a sync(1M) operation on the disks, and then a
             multiuser reboot is initiated.  See init(1M) for details.

             Executing reboot -l logs the reboot to the system log daemon,
             syslogd(1M), and places a shutdown record in the login
             accounting file /var/adm/wtmp.  These actions are inhibited if
             the -n or -q options are present.

             The following options are available:

             -d    Dump system core before rebooting.  This option is
                   provided for compatibility, but is not supported by the
                   underlying reboot(3BSD) call.

             -l    Logs a message to the system log indicating who rebooted
                   the system.

             -n    Avoid the sync(1M).  It can be used if a disk or the
                   processor is on fire.

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

             boot arguments
                   These arguments are accepted for compatibility, but are
                   ignored by reboot.  See boot(1M) for details.

          Power Fail and Crash Recovery
             Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after
             crashes.
