Parameters in the shutdown -iinit-level -ggrace-period –y command are described as follows:
- -iinit-level: brings the system to an init level that is different from the default of S. The choices are 0, 1, 2, 5, and 6. Run levels 0 and 5 are reserved states for shutting the system down. Run level 6 reboots the system. Run level 2 is available as a multi-user operating state.
- -ggrace-period: indicates a time (in seconds) before the system is shut down. The default is 60 seconds.
- -y: continues to shut down the system without intervention. Otherwise, you are prompted to continue the shutdown process after 60 seconds.
For example, the shutdown -i5 -g0 -y command is used for fast reboot, and the shutdown -i6 -g0 –y command is used for fast shutdown.
