Description Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2018-11-28 15:32:36 CET 
Hi.

I did 2 tests as root in a VM.

1. /bin/halt
  a. Resulted in a system that was halted but would not shut down as I would expect.

2. shutdown -h now
  a. Did exactly that and worked as expected.
Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2018-11-28 15:54:57 CET 
Your expectation is wrong.


halt does exactly what the command says, halts the system.

halt =! poweroff

if you want it to power off, add the -p flag
