.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
systemd\-halt\&.service
is a system service that is pulled in by
halt\&.target
and is responsible for the actual system halt\&. Similar,
systemd\-poweroff\&.service
is pulled in by
poweroff\&.target,
systemd\-reboot\&.service
by
reboot\&.target
and
systemd\-kexec\&.service
by
kexec\&.target
to execute the respective actions\&.
.PP
When these services are run they ensure that PID 1 is replaced by the
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd\-shutdown
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\&.
.PP
Immediately before executing the actual system halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec
systemd\-shutdown
will run all executables in
/usr/lib/systemd/system\-shutdown/
and pass one arguments to them: either
"halt",
"poweroff",
"reboot"
or
"kexec", 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\&.
.PP
Note that
systemd\-halt\&.service
(and the related units) should never be executed directly\&. Instead, trigger system shutdown with a command such as
"systemctl halt"
or suchlike\&.
