NAME
       halt - variables that affect the behavior of the shutdown scripts


DESCRIPTION
       The /etc/default/halt file contains variable settings in POSIX format:

            VAR=VAL

       Only one assignment is allowed per line.  Comments (starting with '#') are also allowed.


OPTIONS
       The following variables can be set.

       HALT   If  set  to  poweroff  the system will be powered down after it has been brought down. This is the
              default.
              If set to halt the system will only be halted after it has been brought down.  What  exactly  this
              means depends on your hardware.

       NETDOWN
              Setting  this to no prevents shutdown from shutting down the network intefaces.  This is necessary
              to use Wake-On-Lan.  Setting it to yes causes shutdown to also bring down the  network  interfaces
              (and thus prevent the machine from being woken up remotely).


SEE ALSO
       halt(8), shutdown(8).
