.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm poweroff ,
|
|
.Nm halt
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utilities flush the file system cache to disk, send all running processes
|
|
a
|
|
.Dv SIGTERM ,
|
|
wait for up to 30 seconds for them to die, send a
|
|
.Dv SIGKILL
|
|
to the survivors and, respectively, power down, halt or restart the system.
|
|
The action is logged, including entering a shutdown record into the login
|
|
accounting file and sending a message via
|
|
.Xr syslog 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Create a dump before halting or restarting.
|
|
This option is useful for debugging system dump procedures or
|
|
capturing the state of a corrupted or misbehaving system.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Suppress sending a message via
|
|
.Xr syslog 3
|
|
before halting or restarting.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do not flush the file system cache.
|
|
This option should be used with extreme caution.
|
|
It can be used if a disk or a processor is on fire.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Attempt to powerdown the system.
|
|
If the powerdown fails, or the system does not support
|
|
software powerdown, the system will halt.
|
|
This option is only valid for
|
|
.Nm halt .
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
To enable verbose messages on the console, pass the
|
|
.Xr boothowto 9
|
|
flag
|
|
.Dv AB_VERBOSE
|
|
to
|
|
.Xr reboot 2 .
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
To enable debugging messages on the console, pass the
|
|
.Xr boothowto 9
|
|
flag
|
|
.Dv AB_DEBUG
|
|
to
|
|
.Xr reboot 2 .
|
|
.It Fl z
|
|
To silence some shutdown messages on the console, pass the
|
|
.Xr boothowto 9
|
|
flag
|
|
.Dv AB_SILENT
|
|
to
|
|
.Xr reboot 2 .
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Do not give processes a chance to shut down before halting or restarting.
|
|
This option should not normally be used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If there are any arguments passed to
|
|
.Nm reboot
|
|
they are concatenated with spaces and passed as
|
|
.Fa bootstr
|
|
to the
|
|
.Xr reboot 2
|
|
system call.
|
|
The string is passed to the firmware on platforms that support it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normally, the
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
utility is used when the system needs to be halted or restarted, giving
|
|
users advance warning of their impending doom.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v6 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm poweroff
|
|
command first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.5 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
Once the command has begun its work, stopping it before it completes
|
|
will probably result in a system so crippled it must be
|
|
physically reset.
|
|
To prevent premature termination, the command
|
|
blocks many signals early in its execution.
|
|
However, nothing can defend against deliberate attempts to evade this.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This command will stop the system without running any
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
scripts.
|
|
Amongst other things, this means that swapping will not be
|
|
disabled so that
|
|
.Xr raid 4
|
|
can shutdown cleanly.
|
|
You should normally use
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
unless you are running in single user mode.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The single user shell will ignore the
|
|
.Dv SIGTERM
|
|
signal.
|
|
To avoid waiting for the timeout when
|
|
rebooting or halting from the single user shell, you have to
|
|
.Ic exec reboot
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic exec halt .
