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/log.  The system is then rebooted with the
       reboot(2) systemcall.

       If the -f flag is not given then all processes are sent terminate  sig‐
       nals 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 log 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 pro‐
       gram.
