NAME

halt − stop the processor

SYNOPSIS

/etc/halt [ −n ] [ −q ] [ −y ] [ −x ] [ −r ]

DESCRIPTION

halt writes out sandbagged information to the disks and then stops the processor. 

−n prevents the sync before stopping. 

−q causes a quick halt, no graceful shutdown is attempted. 

−y needed if you are trying to halt the system from a dialup. 

−x causes entire system power-off. 

−q try to resumable halt if supported. 

halt normally logs the shutdown using syslog(8) and places a shutdown record in the login accounting file /usr/adm/wtmp.  These actions are inhibited if the −n or −q or −r options are present.
