F ASTBOOT ( 8 )
MAINTENANCE COMMANDS
NAME
fast boot, fasthalt - reboot/halt the system without checking the disks
SYNOPSIS
/ete/taatboot [ hoot-options)
/ete/taathalt [ halt-options)
DESCRIPTION
F ASTBOOT ( 8 )
Fasthoot and fasthalt are shell scripts which reboot and halt the system without checking the file
systems. This is done by creating a file /fasthoot, then invoking the rehoot program. The system
startup script, / etc/ rc, looks for this file and, if present, skips the normal invocation of fsck(8).
