        SYNTAX

        /etc/halt [ -n ] [ -q ]


        DESCRIPTION

        Halt updates the file system (see sync(1m)) unmounts all mounted
        file systems, and then stops the processor.  This transfers
        certain system information from main memory to disk.  By default,
        halt asks the user for confirmation and halts the processor.

        Options are:

        -n    Halt the processor without doing a sync(1m).
        -q    Halt quickly; do not ask the user for confirmation.


        SEE ALSO

        sync(1), reboot(2).


        WARNING

        Using -n -q to shutdown quickly is dangerous, since it does not
        stop file system activity before the halt is done.
