Can anyone link up the source of the halt tool? It is a binary usually located in /sbin which shuts down the system. I did some search and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Here's a version of halt from busybox. The linux/bsd/whatever one is probably similar in many ways, although a little more elaborate :)
This URL appears to have a copy of the sysvinit source:
ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.86.tar.gz
The halt source should be in that archive.

Maybe try /sbin/, some tools like shutdown are located there. If you are looking to restart your computer give:
shutdown -r now

In Ubuntu at least, /sbin/halt is a symlink to /sbin/reboot, which is a part of upstart. Get it here.

The code for NetBSD is here : http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sbin/reboot/reboot.c?rev=1.35.4.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
