Shalom,

There is no run level 6 in HP-UX.

By default run level 4 and 5 are not configured in /etc/inittab

I use them to test auto start scripts without effecting running apps. If I want oracle to start and the start script is running I can go init 4 init 5 to my hearts content until I've debugged the startup script.

Sorry, that's not true. It is perfectly legal to define a runlevel of five (5) OR six (6), although neither is currently used by standard setup of HP-UX, nlor have they been since at least 10.0.

The manapges for 'rc(1M)' and for 'init(1M)' clearly document this.

As for where to define the system runlevel, see the line in '/etc/inittab' with the label 'initdefault'. Usually this is the first line of the '/etc/initab' file and is set to run-level three (3) like this:

init:3:initdefault:

See the 'inittab(4)' manpages for more information.
