NAME
       halt - stop the processor

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/halt [ -e ] [ -n ] [ -p ] [ -q ] [ -y ]

DESCRIPTION
       Halt  flushes  internal	caches, ensures that all remaining disk writes
       have been completed, and then stops the processor.  The machine doesn't
       reboot.

       The  -e	option causes the optical drive to eject any disk contained in
       it.  The -n option prevents the sync before stopping.   The  -p	option
       causes the machine to be powered down after shutdown.  -q option causes
       a quick halt, no graceful shutdown is  attempted.   The	-y  option  is
       needed if you are trying to halt the system from a dialup.

       Halt  normally  logs the shutdown using syslog(8) and places a shutdown
       record in the login accounting file /usr/adm/wtmp.  These  actions  are
       inhibited if the -n or -q options are present.
