+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBhalt\fR and \fBpoweroff\fR utilities write any pending information to
+the disks and then stop the processor. The \fBpoweroff\fR utility has the
+machine remove power, if possible.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBhalt\fR and \fBpoweroff\fR utilities normally log the system shutdown to
+the system log daemon, \fBsyslogd\fR(8), and place a shutdown record in the
+login accounting file \fB/var/adm/wtmpx\fR. These actions are inhibited if the
+\fB-n\fR or \fB-q\fR options are present.
+.SH OPTIONS

+The following options are supported:

+.SH NOTES
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBhalt\fR and \fBpoweroff\fR utilities do not cleanly shutdown
+\fBsmf\fR(7) services. Execute the scripts in \fB/etc/rcnum.d\fR or execute
+shutdown actions in \fBinittab\fR(5). To ensure a complete shutdown of system
+services, use \fBshutdown\fR(8) or \fBinit\fR(8) to reboot a Solaris system.
