halt(1M)                                                              halt(1M)



NAME
     halt - halt the system

SYNOPSIS
     cd /
     /etc/halt [ -p ]

DESCRIPTION
     halt is executed by the superuser to shut the machine down so it is safe
     to remove power.  halt leaves the machine executing the firmware monitor,
     unless the -p option is present and supported on the machine.  If you are
     remotely logged in to the system, you are prompted to confirm the
     shutdown.

     The -p option requests that the power be turned off after the system is
     shut down.  Only some systems support this.
