halt(1M)                (BSD Compatibility Package)                halt(1M)


   NAME
         halt - stop the processor

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/ucb/halt [ -nqy ]

   DESCRIPTION
         halt writes out any information pending to the disks and then stops
         the processor.

         halt normally logs the system shutdown to the system log daemon,
         syslogd(1M), and places a shutdown record in the login accounting
         file /var/adm/wtmp.  These actions are inhibited if the -n or -q
         options are present.

         The following options are available:

         -n    Prevent the sync before stopping.

         -q    Quick halt.  No graceful shutdown is attempted.

         -y    Halt the system, even from a dialup terminal.

   FILES
         /var/adm/wtmp       login accounting file

   SEE ALSO
         reboot(1M), syslogd(1M)

         shutdown(1M), init(1M) in the System Administrator's Reference
         Manual.

   NOTES
         This command is equivalent to init 0.
