sulogin(1M)

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.
