<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-poweroff.service</filename> is a system service that is pulled in by
<filename>poweroff.target</filename> and is responsible for the actual system power-off
operation. Similarly, <filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> is pulled in by
<filename>halt.target</filename>, <filename>systemd-reboot.service</filename> by
<filename>reboot.target</filename> and <filename>systemd-kexec.service</filename> by
<filename>kexec.target</filename> to execute the respective actions.</para>
<para>When these services are run, they ensure that PID 1 is replaced by the
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown</filename> binary which is then responsible for the actual
shutdown. Before shutting down, this binary will try to unmount all remaining file systems (or at least
remount them read-only), disable all remaining swap devices, detach all remaining storage devices and
kill all remaining processes.</para>
<para>It is necessary to have this code in a separate binary because otherwise rebooting after an upgrade
might be broken — the running PID 1 could still depend on libraries which are not available any more,
thus keeping the file system busy, which then cannot be re-mounted read-only.</para>
<para>Shortly before executing the actual system power-off/halt/reboot/kexec,
<filename>systemd-shutdown</filename> will run all executables in
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/</filename> and pass one arguments to them: either
<literal>poweroff</literal>, <literal>halt</literal>, <literal>reboot</literal>, or
<literal>kexec</literal>, 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. (A safety
timeout of 90s is applied however.) Note that these executables are run <emphasis>after</emphasis> all
services have been shut down, and after most mounts have been unmounted (the root file system as well as
<filename>/run/</filename> and various API file systems are still around though). This means any programs
dropped into this directory must be prepared to run in such a limited execution environment and not rely
on external services or hierarchies such as <filename>/var/</filename> to be around (or writable).</para>
<para>Note that <filename>systemd-poweroff.service</filename> (and the related units) should never be
executed directly. Instead, trigger system shutdown with a command such as <literal>systemctl
poweroff</literal>.</para>
<para>Another form of shutdown is provided by the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-soft-reboot.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
functionality. It reboots only the OS userspace, leaving the kernel, firmware, and hardware as it is.</para>
