halt(1M)           UNIX System V(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

NOTES
      This command is equivalent to init 0.
