halt(1M)                       DG/UX 5.4R3.00                       halt(1M)


NAME
       halt - stop the system processor

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/halt [ -lnqy ]

DESCRIPTION
       Halt writes out any information pending to the disks and then stops
       the processor.

       Halt normally logs the system shutdown to the system log daemon,
       syslogd(1M), and places a shutdown record in the login accounting
       file /etc/wtmp.  These actions are inhibited if the -n or -q options
       are present.

       Options are:

       -l     Do not log the system shutdown to syslogd.

       -n     Prevent the sync before stopping.

       -q     Quick halt.  No graceful shutdown is attempted.

       -y     Halt the system, even from a dialup terminal.

FILES
       /etc/wtmp           login accounting file

SEE ALSO
