.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Halt
|
|
writes out sandbagged information to the disks and then stops
|
|
the processor. The machine does not reboot, even if the auto-reboot
|
|
switch is set on the console.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Available options for
|
|
.Nm halt :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
No sync before stopping.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Quick halt, no graceful shutdown is attempted.
|
|
.It Fl y
|
|
This option is needed if you are trying to halt the system from a dialup.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Halt
|
|
normally logs the shutdown using
|
|
.Xr syslog 8
|
|
and places a shutdown record in the login accounting file
|
|
.Pa /var/log/wtmp.
|
|
These actions are inhibited if the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
options are present.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
It is very difficult to halt a
|
|
.Tn VAX ,
|
|
as the machine wants to then
|
|
reboot itself. A rather tight loop suffices.
|

The
|
|
.Nm

|
command appeared in

.Bx 4.0 .
