.Nm fasthalt
.Nd "reboot/halt the system without checking the disks"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Ar boot-options
.Nm fasthalt
.Op Ar halt-options
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
and
.Nm fasthalt
are shell scripts which reboot or halt the system, and when next
started, the system will skip the normal the file systems checks.
This is done by creating a file
.Pa /fastboot ,
then invoking the
.Xr reboot 8
program.
The system startup script,
.Pa /etc/rc ,
looks for this file and, if present, skips the normal invocation of
.Xr fsck 8 .
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr halt 8 ,
.Xr rc 8 ,
.Xr reboot 8
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
command appeared in
.Bx 4.2 .
