Working with different OSs can be quite challenging (mentally :-)).
I wonder why the command "halt" has not same result between EL6 and EL8.
To shutdown the vm or workstation in EL8 i must use "shutdown now".
fwiw, i've always used 'init 0' to shut down all sorts of unix/linux systems. On old school unix, and I think even early Linux, halt was an /immediate/ halt, as in catch fire. might as well hit the power switch.
