I'm on 6.6.58-gentoo-r1 compiled from gentoo-sources. No systemd, only
openrc. This is what I have here:
~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/reboot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 2 2024 /usr/bin/reboot -> halt
~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/poweroff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 2 2024 /usr/bin/poweroff -> halt
~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/halt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22560 May 2 2024 /usr/bin/halt
I also have:
~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/halt.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 101 May 2 2024 /usr/bin/halt.sh
~ $ cat /usr/bin/halt.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ "${INIT_HALT}" = HALT ]; then
exec /sbin/halt -dhn
else
exec /sbin/poweroff -dhn
fi
Hope this helps.
