rc6(1M) SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS rc6(1M)
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)].
