The halt
and
reboot
utilities flush the file system cache to
disk, execute the rc.d(8)
scripts specified by the pkg_scripts variable defined
in rc.conf(8) in a reverse
order, run the system shutdown script, send all running processes a
SIGTERM
(and subsequently a
SIGKILL
), and, respectively, halt or restart the
system. The action is logged, including entering a shutdown record into the
login accounting file.
The options are as follows:
-d
-n
-p
-q
Normally, the shutdown(8) utility is used when the system needs to be halted or restarted, giving users advance warning of their impending doom.
