HALT(8)

NAME
halt, reboot, poweroff - stop the system

SYNOPSIS
halt [-n] [-f] [-d] [-w] [-B]
reboot [-n] [-f]
poweroff [-n] [-f]

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.
