SULOGIN(8)                            System Administration                            SULOGIN(8)

NAME
       sulogin - single-user login

SYNOPSIS
       sulogin [options] [tty]

DESCRIPTION
       sulogin is invoked by init when the system goes into single-user mode.

       The user is prompted:

       Give root password for system maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup):

       If the root account is locked and --force is specified, no password is required.

       sulogin will be connected to the current terminal, or to the optional tty device that can
       be specified on the command line (typically /dev/console).

       When the user exits from the single-user shell, or presses control-D at the prompt, the
       system will continue to boot.

OPTIONS
       -e, --force
           If the default method of obtaining the root password from the system via getpwnam(3)
           fails, then examine /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to get the password. If these files
           are damaged or nonexistent, or when root account is locked by '!' or '*' at the begin
           of the password then sulogin will start a root shell without asking for a password.

           Only use the -e option if you are sure the console is physically protected against
           unauthorized access.

       -p, --login-shell
           Specifying this option causes sulogin to start the shell process as a login shell.

       -t, --timeout seconds
           Specify the maximum amount of time to wait for user input. By default, sulogin will
           wait forever.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
           Display version information and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
       sulogin looks for the environment variable SUSHELL or sushell to determine what shell to
       start. If the environment variable is not set, it will try to execute root's shell from
       /etc/passwd. If that fails, it will fall back to /bin/sh.
