After run "init 2" on redhat ES4, nothing happen. It does not run any script in /etc/rc2.d directory.
Thanks for any replay and help...

It should work, init 2 will only stop a few services, maybe you are not seeing what is done.

What is the output of:

ls /etc/rc2.d?

You may try booting directly in the runlevel 2 by adding "2" to the kernel options, you will see that is working.

yes, /etc/rc2.d is there. Nothing shows on the command line after run "init 2".
I checked the /var/log/messages file, and do not see any services defined in /etc/rc2.d/K* got run. This is RedHat ES4. I can run "init 2" on hpux w/o issue.

It's fixed, after reboot the system.
Tks.
