Thanks to responses from Alan Poe and Walt Sullivan To summarize, from whatever i understand Init state s and S are exactly the same. Both S/s and 1 are essentially the same single user adminstration states but the difference lies in the scenario wherein they are invoked. Commonly to perform system adminstration tasks on a running system, init 1 would be invoked, but if the system needs booting up from an external source for system adminstration purposes, then init s/S would be invoked. If the /etc/inittab file is bad, the system would boot up into Single user S/s run level, and not 1 because to change to level 1 it does require a correct /etc/inittab file Hope the summary is helpful -----Original Message----- From: Vaidya, Maulik [mailto:Maulik.Vaidya@icm.siemens.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 3:10 PM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: difference bt runleve s/S and 1 Hello gurus, quick question... i consulted lots of documentations but the difference between runlevel s and 1(Solaris 8.0) is still not clear to me.... any explanations are very much appreciated TIA -Maulik _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Feb 12 17:57:08 2003
