HALT(8)                 GENIX Programmer's Manual                 HALT(8)



      NAME
           halt - stop the processor

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

      DESCRIPTION
           Halt writes out sandbagged information to the disks and  then  stops
           the processor.  The machine does not reboot, even if the auto-reboot
           switch is set on the console.

           The -n option prevents the sync  before  stopping.   The  -q  option
           causes  a  quick  halt,  no  graceful shutdown is attempted.  The -y
           option is needed if you are trying to halt the system from a dialup.

      SEE ALSO
