Linux 3 - Runlevels and Rebooting

  • runlevels
  • inittab
  • init.d
  • init / telinit
  • reboot
  • shutdown
  • upstart

Runlevels:

Runlevel Info More Info
0 HALT Standard acrosss all distributions
1 Single User Mode (recovery) no network, root access, no password to login, standard across all distributions
2 Debian/Ubuntu Default mode for both X and text mode
3 RedHat/SuSE text mode for RH/SUSE, servers
4 Wildcard (not used by default) can be customizable
5 Redhat/Suse Loads X11
6 Reboot Standard acrosss all distributions

# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg,
# Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)

Everything is mostly stopped

Summary init

The inittab show the init process how to start and tells init what to do, sets default runlevel

The order in which it stops is inportant so as not to leave abandoned processes.

telinit

root@debian:~# telinit 
Usage: telinit {-e VAR[=VAL] | [-t SECONDS] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|S|s|Q|q|A|a|B|b|C|c|U|u}}
root@debian:~#

With telinit you tell the init which mode you want to go into

root@debian:~# which telinit
/sbin/telinit
root@debian:~# ll /sbin/telinit
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 20 03:49 /sbin/telinit -> init
root@debian:~#

Although telinit is a symbolic link, in UNIX systems you are not allowed to do this except if you use telinit, even the root is unable to use init.
