OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Does not log the reboot or place a shutdown record in  the
       accounting  file.   Does  not  sync  the  disks or log the
       reboot.  Performs a quick reboot  without  first  shutting

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  fastboot  command reboots the system without checking
       file systems.  The program creates the fastboot file  then
       invokes  the  reboot  program.  The system start-up script
       contains instructions to look for the fastboot  file.   If
       present, the script removes the file and skips the invocation
 of the fsck command.

       You must  have root privileges to use this command.
