REBOOT(1M)                                             REBOOT(1M)



     NAME
          reboot - reboot the system

     SYNOPSIS
          cd /; /etc/reboot [  -h  ] [  -n  ] [  -q  ]

     DESCRIPTION
          UNIX is started by placing it in memory at a particular
          location and transferring to that location.  Since the
          system is not reentrant, it is necessary to read it in from
          disk or tape each time it is to be bootstrapped.

          When UNIX is running reboot can be used to halt the system
          in an orderly fashion.  reboot causes the disks to be
          synced, and a reboot to be initiated.

          Options to reboot are:

          -h   halts the system without rebooting.

          -n   avoids the sync.  It can be used if a disk or the
               processor is on fire.

          -q   reboots quickly, without executing commands in
               /etc/rebootrc.

     FILES
          /etc/rebootrc   reboot shell script
