+HALT(8)                   Minix Programmer's Manual                    HALT(8)
+
+
+NAME
+     halt - abruptly stop the system
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     halt [-f]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     Halt stops the system almost immediately.  The  users  are  not  informed
+     about  the  things  to  come.   Halt  is  logged  in /usr/adm/wtmp and in
+     /usr/adm/authlog, if these files exist.  Halt should only be run  by  the
+     super-user, any other caller will be refused.
+
+     Halt is a rather rude program.  Shutdown(8) is preferred for it  performs
+     a more gentle halt routine.
+
+     Halt -f is even worse, it omits the terminate signals that  are  normally
+     sent first to all processes to give them a chance to die peacefully.
+
+SEE ALSO
+     reboot(2), shutdown(8), reboot(8), boot(8).
