When invoked, it will send the +\fBSIGTERM\fR +signal to any processes left running (but does not wait for the processes to exit), and follow up with +\fBSIGKILL\fR\&. If the +/run/nextroot/ +directory exists (which may be a regular directory, a directory mount point or a symlink to either) then it will switch the file system root to it\&. It then reexecutes the service manager off the (possibly now new) root file system, which will enqueue a new boot transaction as in a normal reboot\&. +.PP +Such a userspace\-only reboot operation permits updating or resetting the entirety of userspace with minimal downtime, as the reboot operation does +\fInot\fR +transition through: +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The second phase of regular shutdown, as implemented by +\fBsystemd-shutdown\fR(8)\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The third phase of regular shutdown, i\&.e\&. the return to the initrd context\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The hardware reboot operation\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The firmware initialization\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The boot loader initialization\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The kernel initialization\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The initrd initialization\&. +.RE +.PP +However this form of reboot comes with drawbacks as well: +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +The OS update remains incomplete, as the kernel is not reset and continues running\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +Kernel settings (such as +/proc/sys/ +settings, a\&.k\&.a\&.
