This is included in the bootutils package. It looks about like this:
(fsck -A looks in /etc/fstab what type the filesystem is and wether to
run e2fsck, xfsck etc.)

# Check the integrity of all filesystems
/etc/fsck -A -a

# If there was a failure, drop into single-user mode.
if [ $? -gt 1 ] ; then
        echo fsck failed. Please reboot.
        sh
fi
