HALT(8)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 HALT(8)



NAME
     halt - stop the processor

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

DESCRIPTION
     Halt brings UTek to an orderly completion.  The processor is
     effectively halted, although the actual state depends on the
     hardware present.  The machine does not reboot.

     Halt should only be used in single-user mode.  In multi-user
     mode use shutdown(8) with the "-h" option.

OPTIONS
     -n  Prevents disk synchronization before stopping.

     -q  Causes a quick halt, no graceful shutdown is attempted.

     -y  This option is needed if you are trying to halt the
         system from a dialup (i.e. not on the console).

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [NP_ERR]       An error occurred that was not a system
                    error.  Execution terminated.

     [P_WARN]       A system error occurred. Execution continues.
                    See intro(2) for more information on system
                    errors.
