FreeNAS shutdown from command line

[divB]

What is the appropriate way to shutdown FreeNAS from command line?

For 2 years now I used just "halt".

But I need to issue this command via a script from a different computer so I do:

Code:

ssh -i pubkey root@freenas 'halt'

Now recently it happens that the ssh client hangs and never terminates/times out; there is no output of the command. So I am not sure if halt is actually the correct way to do ...

 

[ClassicGOD]

poweroff
(/sbin/poweroff)

or

shutdown -p now
(/sbin/shutdown -p now)

both should be exactly the same.

 

[cyberjock]

shutdown -p now

that is what I recommend.

 

[solarisguy]

/etc/netcli defines the actions for the console. Some of the ingredients are:

• Shell: /usr/bin/su -l root
• Reboot: /sbin/shutdown -r now
• Shutdown:
  /sbin/shutdown -p now
  time.sleep(60)

Calling poweroff is equivalent to calling shutdown -p now

Thanks all!

So shutdown -p means "poweroff" and shutdown -h means just "halt". Then I'd do the latter because I have it connected through a power switch which turns off the load anyway
