Hi everyone.

I cannot find source for "halt" app from /sbin. It's not in /usr/src/sbin

Is there any reason not to be there?

Or I'm missing something?

Thanks in advance.

It's a hardlink to reboot


dice@molly:~>ls -il /sbin/halt
33064 -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 6848 Feb 10 12:26 /sbin/halt
dice@molly:~>ls -il /sbin/reboot
33064 -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 6848 Feb 10 12:26 /sbin/reboot

:) would never thought about that, as I looked into shutdown.c which uses halt app, interesting approach.

Thanks!

I had to look it up ;)

My first thought was it was hardlinked to shutdown (seemed obvious :e ).
But a quick man halt told me which one it was in the NAME section, ls -i did the rest :stud
