REBOOT(8) Minix Programmer's Manual REBOOT(8)

|
NAME
|
|
reboot - reboot the system immediately
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
reboot [-f]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Reboot can be used to reboot the system after installing a new kernel.
|
|
It does not inform the users, but does log it's actions in /usr/adm/wtmp
|
|
and /usr/adm/authlog. The system is then rebooted with the reboot(2)
|
|
systemcall.
|
|
|
|
If the -f flag is not given then all processes are sent terminate signals
|
|
to give them a chance to die peacefully before the reboot() call.
|
|
|
|
If the wtmp file exists, reboot logs itself as if it were a shutdown.
|
|
This is done to prevent last(1) from talking about system-crashes.
|
|
Reboot is registered as is in the authlog file.
|
|
|
|
Reboot can only be executed by the super-user. Any other caller will be
|
|
refused, either by reboot(8) or by reboot(2).
|
|
|
|
SEE ALSO
|
|
reboot(2), shutdown(8), halt(8), boot(8).
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
The error message's given by reboot are not always useful. There are
|
|
several routines that can fail, but which are not fatal for the program.
