Unix has many levels: > 0 == Halt > 3 == normal Multi-user mode > others (this is were it gets brief :-) ) > >weimer@ssd.kodak.com ( Gary Weimer ) Correction. In System V Release 3.2: 0 == Halt 1 == Single user mode. Can be entered only from the console. 2 == Normal multi-user mode. 3 == Multi-user remote-file-sharing mode. 4 == User definable multi-user mode. 5 == Stop UNIX and enter firmware mode. 6 == Stop UNIX and reboot to the state defined in '/etc/inittab'. S == Single user mode. Terminal that executed this command becomes the console. -- John ---- Westminster Colorado ...uunet!rushpc!jjr
