     FSHALT(8)                                               FSHALT(8)

     NAME
          fshalt, scram, reboot - halt any local file systems and
          optionally shut down or reboot the system

     SYNOPSIS
          fshalt [ -r [ kernelpath ] ]
          reboot [ kernelpath ]
          scram

     DESCRIPTION
          Fshalt syncs and halts all local cwfs(4) and hjfs(4)
          servers.  If given -r, fshalt will then reboot the machine,
          optionally starting kernelpath. Else it will try to shut
          down the machine through /dev/pmctl (if available) or invoke
          scram. The halting and rebooting is done by copying all nec-
          essary commands into a ramfs(4) file system and changing
          directory there before attempting to halt file systems, so
          this will work even on standalone machines with their roots
          on local file systems.

          Reboot restarts the machine it is invoked on. If an optional
          kernelpath is specified then the machine will load and start
          that kernel directly instead of returning to the system rom.
          (see cons(3)).

          Scram shuts down the machine it is invoked on by writing
          power off to /dev/pmctl.

     BUGS
          On standalone machines, it will be impossible to do anything
          if scram fails after invoking bare fshalt.

          Scram falls back to trying aux/acpi if writing to /dev/pmctl
          fails.
