|
||
|
|
if these files exist.

|
||
|
|
.B Halt
|
||
|
|
is a rather rude program.
|
||
|
|
.BR Shutdown (8)
|
||
|
|
is preferred for it performs a more gentle halt routine.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B Halt \-f
|
||
|
|
is even worse, it omits the terminate signals that are normally
|
||

|
sent first to all processes to give them a chance to die peacefully.
