HALT(8)HALT(8)NAMEhalt - 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.
