> See also: `halt`.
> More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemctl.html#halt>.
- Halt the system:
`systemctl halt`
- Halt the system immediately without asking services to stop gracefully:
`systemctl halt {{[-f|--force]}}`
- Halt the system immediately without sending notifications to logged-in users:
`systemctl halt {{[-f|--force]}} --no-wall`
- Halt the system immediately without terminating any processes or unmounting filesystems (dangerous, may cause data loss):
`systemctl halt {{[-ff|--force --force]}}`
- Schedule a halt at a specific time (e.g., 23:00):
`systemctl halt --when 23:00`
- Schedule a halt after a certain duration (e.g., 2 hours):
`systemctl halt --when +2h`
- Cancel a scheduled halt:
`systemctl halt --when cancel`
