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.
