HPUX : INTERRUPTING THE BOOT PROCESS

If you’ve suspected something in the boot process and don’t want to continue with it, or it just seems to hang, you can press CTRL + / and it just stops and will give you a login prompt.
, but now I wanted to emphasize that it is also working for other services. Note that in the boot phase CTRL + C is ineffective, but CTRL + / will send a SIGQUIT signal and so the system won’t proceed. You will be presented with a prompt, and any init scripts after that phase won’t be started, so you might not get all the services running on the system.
