FASTBOOT(8)                                                        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 sys‐
       tem 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).

SEE ALSO
       halt(8), reboot(8), rc(8)
