NAME
halt - stop the processor

SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/halt [ -n ] [ -q ] [ -y ]

DESCRIPTION
Halt writes out sandbagged information to the disk and then stops
the processor. The machine does not reboot, even if the auto-
reboot switch is set on the console.

The -n option prevents the sync before stopping. The -q option
causes a quick halt, no graceful shutdown is attempted. The -y
option is needed if you are trying to halt the system from a
dialup.

Halt normally logs the shutdown using syslog(8) and places a
shutdown record in the login accounting file /usr/adm/wtmp. These
actions are inhibited if the -n or -q options are present.
