|
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.
|
