Halting with systemctl

Using a sudo systemctl halt command halts the operating system, but it doesn't power down the computer. Because I can read your mind, I know that you're saying, But Donnie. Why would I want to halt the operating system but leave the computer running? Well, I don't know. That's something that I've never figured out in my entire Linux career.

But seriously, halt.target works pretty much the same as poweroff.target. So, I'll leave it to you to look at the associated unit files, if you really want to.

All right, let's reboot this discussion by talking about rebooting.
