käivitamiskäsu

A käivitamiskäsu, or startup command, is a directive given to a computer or other electronic device to initiate its startup sequence. This command signals the system to load its operating system and essential software, preparing it for user interaction. In many modern systems, the käivitamiskäsu is implicitly triggered by pressing the power button. However, in some contexts, it can be a specific software instruction or a BIOS/UEFI setting.

Historically, users might have typed specific commands into a command-line interface to begin the boot process. For embedded systems or specialized hardware, a käivitamiskäsu might be part of a firmware or a network boot process. The exact nature of the käivitamiskäsu can vary significantly depending on the architecture and complexity of the device. Its purpose remains consistent: to transition the device from an off or dormant state to an operational one. The successful execution of a käivitamiskäsu is crucial for the proper functioning of any computing device.
