Personally I prefer:
Code:
halt

or
Code:
kill -8 1

(Used to be 9 until it was pointed out to me that modern solaris doesn't accept that anymore) Smilie

Code:
cd /source;find . -print |cpio -pudvm /destination

this will copy all files and directories from /source to /destination

cool trick is that it will keep correct ownership/attributes and modification time for all files.
