* man: try to make clearer that /var/ is generally not available in ↵Lennart Poettering2023-04-201-32/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ callouts I made the mistake to look into what is installed into /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ on Fedora. fwdupd among other things assumes /var/ is available from these callouts, though it is not in the general case. Hence, let's emphasize this in the documentation a bit more.
* man: deemphasize "halt"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2022-12-071-0/+92
Systemd documents "halt" as the primary shutdown mechanism, redirecting "reboot" and "shutdown" to the halt(8), but halt is a really strange and obsolete concept. Who would want to really keep their machine running after shutdown? I expect that halting is almost unused. Let's at least make it less prominent in the docs. While at it, use "power off" for a verb and "power-off" for noun (but "poweroff" of the actual command name).
