rc6(1M)               UNIX System V(Essential Utilities)                rc6(1M)


NAME
      rc6 - run commands performed to stop and reboot the operating system

SYNOPSIS
      /etc/rc6

DESCRIPTION
      The shell script rc6 is run whenever a transition to run state 6 is
      requested either through init 6 or shutdown -i6.

      The sequence of events in rc6 is as follows:

      ⊕     check to see if a new bootable operating system (/stand/unix) needs
            to be built;  if so, build one by running the buildsys command

      ⊕     unmount all file systems

      Then init executes the initdefault entry in the /etc/inittab file to
      bring the system to the operating state defined by that entry.

      Note that if an error occurs while buildsys is building a new bootable
      operating system, a shell is spawned that will exit only to firmware
      state;  [see buildsys(1M)].
