Name
reboot
Synopsis
reboot [options]
Description
System administration command. Close out filesystems, shut down the system, then reboot the system. Because this command immediately stops all processes, it should be run only in single-user mode. If the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6, reboot calls shutdown -nf.
Options
- -d
Suppress writing to /var/log/wtmp.
- -f
Call reboot even when shutdown would normally be called.
- -n
Suppress normal call to sync.
- -w
Suppress normal execution; simply write to /var/log/wtmp.
