NAME
       fasthalt - Halts the system

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/fasthalt [-lnq]

OPTIONS
       Does not log the halt using syslog.  Prevents the sync before stopping,
       and does not log the halt using syslog.	Causes a quick halt, does  not
       log the halt using syslog, and makes no attempt to kill all processes.

DESCRIPTION
       The  fasthalt command halts the system and flags a subsequent reboot to
       skip the execution of fsck. The program creates the fastboot file, then
       invokes	the halt program. The system start-up script contains instrucā€
       tions to look for the fastboot file.  If present,  the  script  removes
       the file and skips the invocation of the fsck command.

       If  the	command	 is invoked without the -l, -n, or -q option, the halt
       program logs the shutdown using the syslogd command and places a record
       of the shutdown in the login accounting file, /var/adm/wtmp.  Using the
       -q and the -n options imply the -l option.

       You must have root privileges to use this command.

FILES
       Specifies the command path.  Specifies the path of the syslog daemon.
