What is a 'run-level' in Solaris 10?
in [Solaris]

From: Wayne on 9 Apr 2008 20:18 In another group someone asked how to get the run-level. "who -r" is the answer I gave, but even though this is still described in the Solaris 10 who(1) man page, I'm wondering what it reports since Solaris no longer uses a SysV init system? I don't have a Solaris box to try this so I thought I'd ask. Does this return the last milestone reached, nothing at all, or what? Just curious, thanks! -Wayne

I remember it can be done, but i still use init/shutdown. Wolfgang

The difference is that now init starts svc.startd at boot (from inittab), and informs it of run-level changes, and it does almost all the work, translating run-levels into milestones. The whole SVC system is not very well documented or designed, which is sad as it has huge possibilities. |
