do not have the need to use "halt" on a command line to shutdown the computer
The command halt is now just what the name suggests, it is safely stopping operating system and then halting processor. To shutdown it has to be use shutdown -h now In other words with halt computer is not powered off. With 'shutdown -h now' computer is powered off. From home PC perspective I don't see use for halt, but there is explanation how Solaris is using it, so on some hardware it can have use: https://blogs.oracle.com/bholler/entry/the_most_executed_code_in -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
