     NAME
          rstrtunix - reboot the UNIX system; set system options

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/rstrtunix [-m] [-p] [-e] [-n bootfile]

     DESCRIPTION
          /etc/rstrtunix sets a number of system options and then
          shuts down the system and resets the processor. The flag
          options specify commands to the system startup program
          (bootstrap):

          -m           when the system restarts come up in the
                       Macintosh operating system, not as UNIX

          -p           when the system comes back up power it off

          -e           when the system comes back up do NOT run
                       eschatology, boot UNIX immediatly

          -n bootfile  when UNIX comes back up by default boot the
                       kernel specified by bootfile. The name of the
                       default kernel is stored in the file /nextunix.

          This program is often used to force an autoconfiguration of
          the kernel after installing new hardware or system software
          by using:

               /etc/restartunix -e -n /newunix

          You must be super-user (root) to execute rstrtunix.
