Q: Does a halt -q sync the disks?

A: Yes.

(Concise, eh? It was also noted that the "-d" option generates a panic
dump, which can be useful when tracking down the source of whatever made
you do an electronic panic stop.)

Thanks to Paul A Sand <pas_at_unh.edu> and Steve Hancock
<hancock_at_alf.dec.com> for their help.

Dave.
