/sbin : System binaries
Purpose
Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only commands)
are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. /sbin contains
binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing
the system in addition to the binaries in /bin. [18] Programs executed
after /usr is known to be mounted (when there are no problems) are
generally placed into /usr/sbin. Locally-installed system administration
programs should be placed into /usr/local/sbin. [19]
