<h1> The <tt>s6-linux-init-poweroff</tt> program </h1>
<p>
<tt>s6-linux-init-poweroff</tt> triggers the shutdown procedure in order to
halt the system; or, with the <tt>-f</tt> option, it performs an immediate
hard shutdown.
</p>
<h2> Interface </h2>
<pre>
s6-linux-init-poweroff [ -h | -p | -r ] [ -d | -w ] [ -W ] [ -f ] [ -R <em>tmpfsdir</em> ]
</pre>
<ul>
<li> If the <tt>-f</tt> option is present, s6-linux-init-poweroff halts the system immediately. </li>
<li> Else, it triggers the machine's shutdown procedure.
<li> It exits 0. The shutdown procedure happens asynchronously. </li>
</ul>
<p>
This interface follows the traditional <em>sysvinit</em> interface for the
<tt>halt</tt>, <tt>poweroff</tt> and <tt>reboot</tt> programs as close as possible.
</p>
<h2> Exit codes </h2>
<ul>
<li> 0: shutdown procedure triggered. </li>
<li> 100: wrong usage, or user does not have root privileges. </li>
<li> 111: system call failed. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Options </h2>
<ul>
<li> <tt>-h</tt> : halt. No matter the name of the command, it will order
a halt (i.e. the system will be shut down, but the power will remain up).
This is the default for <tt>s6-linux-init-halt</tt>. </li>
<li> <tt>-p</tt> : poweroff. No matter the name of the command, it will order
a power off. This is the default for <tt>s6-linux-init-poweroff</tt>. </li>
<li> <tt>-r</tt> : reboot. No matter the name of the command, it will order
a reboot. This is the default for <tt>s6-linux-init-reboot</tt>. </li>
<li> <tt>-d</tt> : Do not write a wtmp shutdown entry. </li>
<li> <tt>-w</tt> : Only write a wtmp shutdown entry; do not actually shut down
the system. </li>
<li> <tt>-W</tt> : Do not send a <tt>wall</tt> message to users before shutting
down the system. Some other implementations of the <tt>halt</tt>, <tt>poweroff</tt>
and <tt>reboot</tt> commands use the <tt>--no-wall</tt> long option to achieve this. </li>
<li> <tt>-f</tt> : force. The command will not trigger a clean shutdown
procedure; it will just sync the filesystems then tell the kernel to immediately
halt, poweroff or reboot. This should be the last step in the lifetime of the
machine. </li>
<li> <tt>-R <em>tmpfsdir</em></tt> : assume that the root-only
boot-time tmpfs has been mounted on <em>tmpfsdir</em>. Default is <tt>/run</tt>.
It is important to get this right, because the contact point with the
<a href="s6-linux-init-shutdownd.html">s6-linux-init-shutdownd</a> daemon,
which manages the shutdown procedure, is located under this directory. The
<tt>halt</tt>, <tt>poweroff</tt> and <tt>reboot</tt> scripts created by a
<a href="s6-linux-init-maker.html">s6-linux-init-maker</a> invocation
automatically use the correct <tt>-R</tt> option. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Notes </h2>
<ul>
<li> The
<a href="s6-linux-init-halt.html">s6-linux-init-halt</a>,
<a href="s6-linux-init-poweroff.html">s6-linux-init-poweroff</a>,
<a href="s6-linux-init-reboot.html">s6-linux-init-reboot</a> and
<a href="s6-linux-init-shutdown.html">s6-linux-init-shutdown</a>
binaries are not meant to be called directly by administrators.
Instead, their purpose is to be used in <tt>halt</tt>, <tt>poweroff</tt>,
<tt>reboot</tt> and <tt>shutdown</tt> scripts created by
<a href="s6-linux-init-maker.html">s6-linux-init-maker</a>; those scripts
will call them with the correct <tt>-R <em>tmpfsdir</em></tt> option.
The scripts should typically be linked to <tt>/sbin</tt> after
<a href="s6-linux-init-maker.html">s6-linux-init-maker</a> execution, to
provide drop-in replacements for the <em>sysvinit</em> programs with the
same names. </li>
</ul>
