NAME

sulogin– access single-user mode

SYNOPSIS

sulogin

DESCRIPTION

The sulogin utility is automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type EOF (typically CTRL-D) for normal startup (multi-user mode). The user should never directly invoke sulogin.

The sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on a variable number of serial console devices, in addition to the traditional console device. See consadm(1M) and msglog(7D) for a description of how to configure a serial device to display the single-user login prompt.
