NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     halt - halt the system

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     cd	/
     /etc/halt [ -p ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     halt is executed by the superuser to shut the machine down	so it is safe
     to	remove power.  halt leaves the machine executing the firmware monitor,
     unless the	-p option is present and supported on the machine.  If you are
     remotely logged in	to the system, you are prompted	to confirm the
     shutdown.

     The -p option requests that the power be turned off after the system is
     shut down.	 Only some systems support this.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     init(1M), reboot(1M), shutdown(1M).
