Re: Some ideas about the Debian Runlevel System

["Matthew P. McGuire" <gray@shadowglade.net>]

I have no practical experience with multiple run-levels in a production 
environment. So I have no real opinion on the matter. However here is 
the run-level specification according to the LSB 1.3.

0 halt
1 single user mode
2 multiuser with no network services exported
3 normal/full multiuser
4 reserved for local use, default is normal/full multiuser
5 multiuser with xdm or equivalent
6 reboot

More info to be found at:

http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.3.0/gLSB/gLSB/runlevels.html

I think it would be wise to put these to use in Debian since the 
administrator can adjust the run-levels as needed.

Thanks,

Matthew McGuire
