A Summary of Commands

autoreboot

uptime <minutes> — This option specifies the amount of time that the system must be in service before the automatic reboot feature is activated. The default is 5 minutes.

status — This option shows the current values of the automatic reboot parameters, plus the number of unanticipated reboots that occurred in the window minutes preceding the most recent system boot.

When the auto-reboot feature is enabled and activated, the system automatically reboots after a UNIX panic. The auto-reboot feature is activated as follows:

If there were fewer reboots than unanticipated reboots during the window minutes prior to the most recent system boot, the automatic reboot feature is activated (if enabled) uptime minutes after the most recent system boot.

For example, assume the automatic reboot parameters are set to their default values. A system crash occurs. The system reboots at 8:00. If there were fewer than five unanticipated reboots between 7:00 and 8:00, the auto-reboot feature is activated as 8:05. Otherwise, it is activated at 9:00.

An unanticipated reboot is a system boot that occurs after a system crash. A system crash can be caused, for example, by a UNIX panic, a system restart via R ES ET, or a sudden power loss.
