NAME
halt, reboot, poweroff - stop the system.SYNOPSIS
/sbin/halt [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] [-p] [-h]/sbin/reboot [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i]
/sbin/poweroff [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Halt notes that the system is being brought down in the file /var/log/wtmp, and then either tells the kernel to halt, reboot or poweroff the system.If halt or reboot is called when the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6, in other words when it's running normally, shutdown will be invoked instead (with the -h or -r flag). For more info see the shutdown(8) manpage.
The rest of this manpage describes the behaviour in runlevels 0 and 6, that is when the systems shutdown scripts are being run.
OPTIONS
- -n
- Don't sync before reboot or halt.
- -w
- Don't actually reboot or halt but only write the wtmp record (in the /var/log/wtmp file).
- -d
- Don't write the wtmp record. The -n flag implies -d.
- -f
- Force halt or reboot, don't call shutdown(8).
- -i
- Shut down all network interfaces just before halt or reboot.
- -h
- Put all harddrives on the system in standby mode just before halt or poweroff.
- -p
- When halting the system, do a poweroff. This is the default when halt is called as poweroff.
