Description Sam Varshavchik 2000-08-16 16:49:26 UTC 
There's some leftover cruft at the tail end of the halt script:

HALTARGS="-i -d"
if [ -f /poweroff -o ! -f /halt ]; then
    HALTARGS="$HALTARGS -p"
fi

The halt command does not have the -p option.  This is superceeded by the
poweroff command.

Additionally, there's nothing that creates /poweroff.  This should be an
option to shutdown.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2000-08-16 20:00:40 UTC 
The halt command certainly claims to have a -p option.

As for something that creates /poweroff, look at
the SysVinit source. :)
