fasthalt(8)fasthalt(8)NAMEfasthalt - Halts the system
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fasthalt [-lnq]
OPTIONS
Does not log the halt using syslog. Prevents the sync before stopping,
and does not log the halt using syslog. Causes a quick halt, does not
log the halt using syslog, and makes no attempt to kill all processes.
DESCRIPTION
The fasthalt command halts the system and flags a subsequent reboot to
skip the execution of fsck. The program creates the fastboot file, then
invokes the halt program. The system start-up script contains instrucā
tions to look for the fastboot file. If present, the script removes
the file and skips the invocation of the fsck command.
If the command is invoked without the -l, -n, or -q option, the halt
program logs the shutdown using the syslogd command and places a record
of the shutdown in the login accounting file, /var/adm/wtmp. Using the
-q and the -n options imply the -l option.
You must have root privileges to use this command.
FILES
Specifies the command path. Specifies the path of the syslog daemon.
