New Revision: 216823
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/216823
Log:
For compatibility with Linux and Solaris add poweroff(8).
It is implemented as a hard link to shutdown(8) and it is equivalent of:
# shutdown -p now
If we go that way, then for consistency reboot(8) and halt(8) should
also be equivalent to calling shutdown -r now and shutdown -h now
respectively, unless conflicting options are given. Linux has a -f
option for what's currently reboot's and halt's default action, and
fastboot(8)/fasthalt(8) could also retain the current behaviour.
I would be in favour of this change.
I'm not sure I'd go this far. I really *LIKE* that halt/reboot is the
low-level interface that shutdown -r now calls. I'm not sure that
moving away from this would be a good idea. It cuts out many levels of
indirection that can be useful in many instances.
