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.
