REBOOT(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual REBOOT(8) NAME reboot, halt -- stopping and restarting the system SYNOPSIS halt [-dnpq] reboot [-dnq] DESCRIPTION The halt and reboot utilities flush the file system cache to disk, exe- cute 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, respec- tively, halt or restart the system. The action is logged, including en- tering a shutdown record into the login accounting file. The options are as follows: -d Causes system to create a dump before rebooting. This option is useful for debugging system dump procedures or capturing the state of a corrupted or misbehaving system. See savecore(8) for information on how to recover this dump. -n Prevent file system cache from being flushed. This option should probably not be used. -p Causes the system to power down, if it is being halted, and the hardware supports automatic power down. -q Quick. The system is halted or restarted quickly and ungrace- fully, and only the flushing of the file system cache is per- formed. This option should probably not be used. Normally, the shutdown(8) utility is used when the system needs to be halted or restarted, giving users advance warning of their impending doom.
