rc6(1M)

NAME

rc6 − run commands performed to stop and reboot the operating system

/usr/sbin/rc6

SUNWcsr

The shell script rc6 is run whenever a transition to run state 6 is requested either by init 6 or shutdown −i6.

The sequence of events in rc6 is as follows:

•check to see if a new bootable operating system (/kernel/unix) needs to be built, and if so, build one by running the buildsys command

•unmount all file systems

Then init executes the initdefault entry in the /sbin/inittab file to bring the system to the operating state defined by that entry.

Note: If an error occurs while buildsys is building a new bootable operating system, a shell is spawned that will exit only to firmware state.
