NAME
reboot - MachTen termination

SYNOPSIS
reboot [ -n ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION
Reboot halts execution of the MachTen application, and restarts the
Macintosh Operation System.

Rebooting a running system. When MachTen is running and a reboot is
desired, shutdown(8) is normally used. If there are no users then
reboot can be used.

Reboot causes the disks to be synced and allows the system to
perform other shutdown activities such as resynchronizing hardware
time-of-day clocks. If all this succeeds without incident, the
MachTen application is terminated, and the Macintosh Operation
System is restarted. At this point the MachTen application can be
restarted as could any other Macintosh application.

Options to reboot are:

-n option avoids the sync. It can be used if a disk or the
processor is on fire.

-q reboots quickly and ungracefully, without shutting down
running processes first.

Reboot normally logs the reboot using syslog(8) and places a
shutdown record in the login accounting file /usr/adm/wtmp. These
actions are inhibited if the -n or -q options are present.

NOTES
The /usr/adm/wtmp file is not created during installation of
MachTen. Entries are not added to this file if it does not exist.
This service can be enabled by creating this file.
