startup ...

[lallous]

Hello,

I noticed there are folders like:

/etc/rc0.d
/etc/rc1.d
/etc/rc2.d
..
..
..
Each folder corresponds to a runlevel?

In each of these folders there is a bunch of scripts...are they the
one who get executed when I type 'init 2' for example in /etc/rc2.d/ ?
In what order to they get executed which script file before which one
?

--
Can I somehow disable the 'init 0' only ?
I tried to 'mv /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc0.d.old' but yet I see the system
launching the shutdown scripts...


Regards,
Elias

You have an rc1.d directory?

I cannot imagine why you would want to do that.

See [url]http://osr5doc.ca.caldera.com:457/OSAdminG/sstT.etcrc.html[/url] for a
quick rundown on what happens during bootup, and read the init(M),
rc2(ADM), and rc0(ADM) man pages for more information.

Yes, though it's controlled by /etc/inittab

Don't do that.

There are reasons for the scripts. If you have some specific
reason to shutdown without running the scripts, use "haltsys".
