- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> is a system
- service that is pulled in by <filename>halt.target</filename> and
- is responsible for the actual system halt. Similarly,
- <filename>systemd-poweroff.service</filename> is pulled in by
- <filename>poweroff.target</filename>,
- <filename>systemd-reboot.service</filename> by
- <filename>reboot.target</filename> and
- <filename>systemd-kexec.service</filename> by
- <filename>kexec.target</filename> to execute the respective
- actions.</para>
-
- <para>When these services are run, they ensure that PID 1 is
- replaced by the
- <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown</filename> tool which
- is then responsible for the actual shutdown. Before shutting down,
- this binary will try to unmount all remaining file systems,
- disable all remaining swap devices, detach all remaining storage
- devices and kill all remaining processes.</para>
-
- <para>It is necessary to have this code in a separate binary
- because otherwise rebooting after an upgrade might be broken — the
- running PID 1 could still depend on libraries which are not
- available any more, thus keeping the file system busy, which then
- cannot be re-mounted read-only.</para>
-
- <para>Immediately before executing the actual system
- halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec <filename>systemd-shutdown</filename>
- will run all executables in
- <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/</filename> and pass
- one arguments to them: either <literal>halt</literal>,
- <literal>poweroff</literal>, <literal>reboot</literal> or
- <literal>kexec</literal>, depending on the chosen action. All
- executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and
- execution of the action is not continued before all executables
- finished.</para>
-
- <para>Note that <filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> (and the
- related units) should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger
- system shutdown with a command such as <literal>systemctl
- halt</literal> or suchlike.</para>
