Interrupt the Startup process

Nikee Reddy — Mon, 20 Sep 2004 15:53:09 GMT

Hello,

While system coming-up after the reboot, it hangs at the NFS mounting stage. I would like to intereupt the startup process. How can I do this? Any commands like CNTRL + C or D...?

Thanks,
Nikee

You can use CNTL-\ to interrup the startup scripts.

Hi,

If this is connected to a 700/96 console, you can press the break key on the keyboard to break the boot sequence.

Hope this helps.

To Sundar :
So will it just interrupt the current stuck
script, or whole set of RC?

Hi! Nikee,

One of these should work depending on the terminal type of your console.

Ctrl+c
Shift+Del
Break

When you interrupt the startup process, you'll get the login prompt which means that the rest of the startup scripts would not run.

Hope this helps!!

Thomas,

It will break out of the entire RC sequencer scripts.

You will get the login prompt. Here you get a chance to login as root, correct the problem and reboot the system again.

You should not continue to run the system after breaking the RC sequencer in between.
