NAME

halt, reboot, poweroff — stop the system

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

halt / reboot / poweroff tells init(8) to bring down, reboot, or power off the system. Without -f, it is a shortcut for init 0 / init 6.

-n

Don't sync before reboot or halt. Note that the kernel and storage drivers may still sync.

-f

Force halt or reboot, don't call init(8). This is dangerous!

-d

Do not write the wtmp record.

-w

Just write the wtmp record.

-B

Just write the wtmp record, but for a boot.

UNSUPPORTED OPTIONS

This version of halt is based on runit(8), the following features are not supported and silently ignored:

-h

to put hard drives in standby mode.

-i

to shut down network interfaces.
