=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<aa-shutdown>(1) is a simple helper that will send the appropriate commands to
B<s6-svscan> (using B<s6-svscanctl>).

It obviously expects it to be running (as PID 1) using I</run/services/.scandir>
as its scandir.

Additionally, if called as B<halt>, B<reboot> or B<poweroff> then it
automatically defaults to the corresponding action. This allows to use symlinks
by those names pointing to B<aa-shutdown>(1). Note that in this case:

- An option isn't required; i.e. calling it as `reboot` will trigger the
  reboot, as would `aa-shutdown --reboot` have done;

- If an option is specified, it takes precedence. So calling it `reboot -p` will
  power off the machine.
