I'm not sure if a halt is what I think it is, but we have a MASSCOMP
which has a reboot command to bring the system down gracefully.
The reboot does a sync, but I have started the practise of doing
a sync before the reboot since on many occasions reboot has caused
a panic before getting to the sync.
