fasthalt
fasthalt(8) System Manager's Manual fasthalt(8)
NAME
fasthalt - Halts the system
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fasthalt [-lnq]
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 instructions 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 flag, 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 flags imply the -l flag.
You must have root privileges to use this command.
FLAGS
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.
FILES
Specifies the command path Specifies the path of the syslog daemon
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: fsck(8), halt(8), syslogd(8)
Functions: sync(2), syslog(3) delim off
