<para > Force immediate power-off, halt, or reboot. If specified, the command does not contact the
init system. In most cases, filesystems are not properly unmounted before shutdown. For example,
the command <command > reboot -f</command> is mostly equivalent to
<command > systemctl reboot -ff</command> , instead of <command > systemctl reboot -f</command> .

<para > These commands are implemented in a way that preserves basic compatibility with the original SysV
2022-12-06 13:27:31 +03:00
commands. <citerefentry > <refentrytitle > systemctl</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 1</manvolnum> </citerefentry>
verbs <command > poweroff</command> , <command > reboot</command> , <command > halt</command> provide the same
2020-01-16 21:01:05 +03:00
functionality with some additional features.</para>
<para > Note that on many SysV systems <command > halt</command> used to be synonymous to
<command > poweroff</command> , i.e. both commands would equally result in powering the machine off. systemd
is more accurate here, and <command > halt</command> results in halting the machine only (leaving power
on), and <command > poweroff</command> is required to actually power it off.</para>
