halt

The halt command prepares the platform for a clean system shutdown. This is similar to the reboot command, except the halt command does not explicitly reboot the system. The halt command (like the reboot command) may accept a force argument i.e. halt the system regardless of whether it would cause a service outage. The sysprep and exit arguments should only be used under Oracle direction.
