REBOOT(8)               COMMAND REFERENCE               REBOOT(8)



NAME
     reboot - UTek bootstrapping procedures

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/reboot [ -n ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION
     Reboot provides a way to restart UTek from scratch without
     cycling power.  This is necessary when the kernel is
     changed, or when some other aspect of basic operation
     changes.

     Reboot should only be run from single-user mode.  When a
     reboot from multi-user mode is desired, shutdown(8) with the
     "-r" option is preferred.

     Rebooting a running system. By using reboot and shutdown the
     disks are synchronized, UTek operation is halted, and a
     normal bootstrap sequence is started. The boot process
     proceeds through automatic startup to multi-user mode.

     Power fail and panic recovery. Normally, the system reboots
     itself after power returns or after panics (software-
     detected system faults causing the kernel to terminate
     operation).  The boot process proceeds through automatic
     startup to multi-user mode.  Some panics will not result in
     a reboot, leaving the machine halted.

OPTIONS
     -n  Avoids disk synchronization.  Needed after fixing the
         root file system.

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

FILES
     /vmunix      system kernel

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [NP_ERR]       An error occurred that was not a system
                    error.  Execution terminated.

     [P_WARN]       A system error occurred. Execution continues.
                    See intro(2) for more information on system
                    errors.
