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

NAME
     halt - stop the processor

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ucb/halt [-lnqy]

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.

OPTIONS
     -l   No logging.

     -n   Prevent the sync(1M) before stopping.

     -q   Quick halt. No graceful shutdown is attempted.

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

NOTE
     This command is equivalent to init 0.

FILES
     /var/adm/wtmp
          Login accounting file

SEE ALSO
     init(1M), reboot(1M), shutdown(1M), syslogd(1M).
