halt(1M_BSD)         (BSD System Compatibility)         halt(1M_BSD)


       NAME
             halt - (BSD) stop the processor

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/halt [-lnqy]

       DESCRIPTION
             halt writes out any information pending to the disks and then
             stops the processor.

             halt -l 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:

             -l    Logs a message to the system log indicating who halted
                   the system.

             -n    Prevent the sync before stopping.

             -q    Quick halt.  No graceful shutdown is attempted.

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