FASTBOOT(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual FASTBOOT(8)
NAME
fastboot, fasthalt - reboot/halt the system without checking
the disks
SYNOPSIS
/etc/fastboot [ _b_o_o_t-_o_p_t_i_o_n_s ]
/etc/fasthalt [ _h_a_l_t-_o_p_t_i_o_n_s ]
DESCRIPTION
_F_a_s_t_b_o_o_t and _f_a_s_t_h_a_l_t are shell scripts which reboot and
halt the system without checking the file systems. This is
done by creating a file /_f_a_s_t_b_o_o_t, then invoking the _r_e_b_o_o_t
program. The system startup script, /_e_t_c/_r_c, looks for this
file and, if present, skips the normal invocation of
_f_s_c_k(8).
