     FSHALT(8)                                               FSHALT(8)

     NAME
          fshalt, reboot - halt any local file systems and optionally
          reboot the system

     SYNOPSIS
          fshalt [ -r ] [ new-kernel ]
          reboot

     DESCRIPTION
          Fshalt syncs all local fossil(4), venti(8), and kfs(4)
          servers, then halts all local fossil and kfs servers.  If
          given -r, fshalt will then reboot the machine.  If new-
          kernel is given, it will be loaded as the new kernel rather
          than the currently-loaded kernel.  The halting and rebooting
          is done by copying all necessary commands into a ramfs(4)
          file system and changing directory there before attempting
          to halt file systems, so this will work even on standalone
          machines with their roots on local file systems.

          Reboot restarts the machine it is invoked on.

     BUGS
          On standalone machines, it will be impossible to do anything
          after invoking bare `fshalt'.
