FASTBOOT(8) | System Manager's Manual | FASTBOOT(8)

# NAME

`fastboot`, `fasthalt` — reboot/halt the system without checking the disks

# SYNOPSIS

`fastboot` | [boot-options]

`fasthalt` | [halt-options]

# DESCRIPTION

`fastboot` and `fasthalt` are shell scripts which reboot or halt the system, and when next started, the system will skip the normal the file systems checks. This is done by creating a file /fastboot, then invoking the reboot(8) program. The system startup script, /etc/rc, looks for this file and, if present, skips the normal invocation of fsck(8).

# SEE ALSO

halt(8), rc(8), reboot(8)

# HISTORY

The `fastboot` command appeared in 4.2BSD.
