ROOTNODE(1)                     Domain/OS BSD                      ROOTNODE(1)



NAME 
     rootnode - change the node to which the root directory refers

SYNOPSIS
     rootnode //nodename

DESCRIPTION
     rootnode causes / to refer to the node entry directory of //nodename
     instead of the current node entry directory. The process must have
     execute (search) permission for the node entry directory of //nodename.

     Because a new process is created to execute each command, rootname would
     be ineffective if it were written as a normal command.  Therefore, it is
     an internal command in the Bourne shell, Korn shell, and the C shell.
