System Management

Because of limitations in underlying SunOS 5.x support, the commands in this section for stopping and starting your system cannot provide full SunOS 4.1 functionality. Nonetheless, they are included here for compatibility, so that existing shell scripts invoking them can still function. For example, the compatibility package versions of fastboot and fasthalt do not prevent disk checks. See the manual pages on following commands to find out about specific limitations: fastboot, fasthalt, and shutdown.
