[Bglug] Halt and poweroff

[Andrew Howlett]

i checked the linux standard base core specification for the shutdown command

actually it says on page 393 that for the shutdown -h (halt) option "actions after halting are unspecified (e.g. power off)"

I thought maybe it's a ACPI problem. But no, actually it is systemd correctly implementing the commands. Halt closes the system but leaves it powered up. Poweroff or shutdown close and power off the system.
