halt(1M)          MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES           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.
