sulogin(1M) System Administration Commands sulogin(1M)NAMEsulogin - access single-user mode
SYNOPSISsuloginDESCRIPTION
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 tradi‐
tional 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.
