Linux Doc on Run Levels

[btmeple]

Does anyone know if there is any documentation available that explains run levels? :rolleyes:

[ph34r]

There was a really good one in Linux magazine recently, and the LFS book describes them fairly well.

Runlevel 0 is halt
Runlevel 1 is single user no network
Runlevel 2 is single user network
Runlevel 3 is multiuser network
Runlevel 5 is X
Runlevel 6 is restart

Should get ya going at least...

Most distributions have a well commented /etc/inittab Just open it up and read it. It'll tell you what runlevel does what.
