sulogin — Access Single-User Mode

Synopsis

sulogin

Description

The sulogin command is automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type end-of-file (typically Control-D) for normal startup (multiuser mode). You should never directly invoke sulogin.
