Can anyone please tell me how I can start the server in such a way that only one user (say ROOT) can log on the server

Thanks

Take a look at this thread, it has great responses that should answer your question.

For Single User you need reboot system.
Is correct?

Then you have to do the following steps
0. Boot the system
1. Stop Boot
2. In Main Menu, Boot from primary disk (bo pri)
3. Interact with IPL (Y)
4. In promp ISL, type
ISL> hpux -is
5. You are in Single User Mode

6. Good lock

To get into the 'true' single user mode, you will need to reboot and interact with the ISL, giving it the 'hpux -is' command.

You can do 'init 1' at the prompt but you will find that FSs are still mounted, networking is still working, etc...

Edit /etc/inittab:
search the line with 'initdefault'
and change there:
id:3:inittab
to
id:1:inittab
Your box will boot with init 1
