Manual page for HALT(8)

halt - stop the processor

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/halt [ -e ] [ -n ] [ -p ] [ -q ] [ -y ]

DESCRIPTION

Halt flushes internal caches, ensures that all remaining disk writes have been completed, and then stops the processor. The machine doesn't reboot.

The -e option causes the optical drive to eject any disk contained in it. The -n option prevents the sync before stopping. The -p option causes the machine to be powered down after shutdown. -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.

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 options are present.
