Description

Using boot is the preferred method for taking the system offline. Without any arguments, boot shuts down the system and reboots.

Boot recognizes these options:

-b

Enters BASIC immediate mode.

-h

Does not hangup if there is a connection.

-q

Quits BASIC and returns to the operating system.

If boot is given a numeric argument from 1 to 7, it attempts to boot the computer from the device in that slot.

If the argument is a filename of an executable file, that file is launched.
