[ale] Shutdown porcess

[Chris Fowler]

 
shutdown -r calls init with option of 6.  Init then shutsdown the machine
and issues either the /sbin/halt or /sbin/shutdown command.  The script that gets executed is /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/S01reboot or /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S01halt

 I need to know that the halt command does.  I believe it sets the clean bit on the FS or umounts it.  I'm not sure.

I usually just use the Shutdown command.


at root:Â  shutdown -r now 
that does a "restart now"


or


shutdown now


just shuts down w/out restarting..


both of these cleanly unmounts the filesystem
