|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBHalt\fP notes that the system is being brought down in the file
|
||
|
|
\fI/var/log/wtmp\fP, and then either tells the kernel to halt, reboot or
|
||
|
|
power-off the system.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If \fBhalt\fP or \fBreboot\fP is called when the system is
|
||
|
|
\fInot\fP in runlevel \fB0\fP or \fB6\fP, in other words when it's running
|
||
|
|
normally, \fBshutdown\fP will be invoked instead (with the \fB-h\fP
|
||
|
|
or \fB-r\fP flag). For more info see the \fBshutdown\fP(8)
|
||
|
|
manpage.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The rest of this manpage describes the behaviour in runlevels 0
|
||
|
|
and 6, that is when the systems shutdown scripts are being run.

|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-n\fP
|
||
|
|
Don't sync before reboot or halt. Note that the kernel and storage
|
||
|
|
drivers may still sync.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-w\fP
|
||
|
|
Don't actually reboot or halt but only write the wtmp record
|
||
|
|
(in the \fI/var/log/wtmp\fP file).
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-d\fP
|
||
|
|
Don't write the wtmp record. The \fB\-n\fP flag implies \fB\-d\fP.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-f\fP
|
||
|
|
Force halt or reboot, don't call \fBshutdown\fP(8).
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-i\fP
|
||
|
|
Shut down all network interfaces just before halt or reboot.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-h\fP
|
||
|
|
Put all hard drives on the system in stand-by mode just before halt or power-off.
|
||
|
|
.IP \fB\-p\fP
|
||
|
|
When halting the system, switch off the power. This is the default when halt is
|
||
|
|
called as \fBpoweroff\fP.

.\"{{{ Notes
|
||
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
||
|
|
Under older \fBsysvinit\fP releases , \fBreboot\fP and \fBhalt\fP should
|
||
|
|
never be called directly. From release 2.74 on \fBhalt\fP and \fBreboot\fP
|
||
|
|
invoke \fBshutdown\fP(8) if the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6. This
|
||
|
|
means that if \fBhalt\fP or \fBreboot\fP cannot find out the current
|
||
|
|
runlevel (for example, when \fI/var/run/utmp\fP hasn't been initialized
|
||
|
|
correctly) \fBshutdown\fP will be called, which might not be what you want.
|
||
|
|
Use the \fB-f\fP flag if you want to do a hard \fBhalt\fP or \fBreboot\fP.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The \fB-h\fP flag puts all hard disks in standby mode just before halt
|
||
|
|
or power-off. Right now this is only implemented for IDE drives. A side
|
||
|
|
effect of putting the drive in stand-by mode is that the write cache
|
||
|
|
on the disk is flushed. This is important for IDE drives, since the
|
||
|
|
kernel doesn't flush the write cache itself before power-off.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The \fBhalt\fP program uses /proc/ide/hd* to find all IDE disk devices,
|
||
|
|
which means that \fI/proc\fP needs to be mounted when \fBhalt\fP or
|
||
|
|
\fBpoweroff\fP is called or the \fB-h\fP switch will do nothing.
