Solaris Run Level

This document summarizes the default run levels in Solaris and how to change them. The default run levels are: S (single-user mode), 0 (access firmware), 1 (system administrator mode), 2 (multi-user without NFS), 3 (multi-user with NFS), 4 (unused), 5 (shutdown), and 6 (reboot). The current run level can be checked with the 'who -r' command. Run levels can be changed after boot up using the 'init' command or the default run level can be set by editing the '/etc/inittab' file and changing the 'initdefault' entry.
