NAME
rebootin - Reboots the machine using a particular Boot Loader entry
SYNOPSIS
rebootin [OPTIONS] <
label>
DESCRIPTION
rebootin reboots the machine it is launched on. While with a
simple
reboot you need to manually select the boot entry to use
at startup,
rebootin allows to specify the boot entry on the
command line.
<label> is the name of the entry as named in the boot loader
configuration file.
rebootin currently works with LILO and Grub.
Running rebootin without any argument displays the list of
available boot entries as supported by the current boot loader.
OPTIONS
- -f
-
Create a /fastboot file to reboot in fastboot mode (eg: no fsck(8)).
