HOW TO CHANGE RUN LEVEL PERMANET IN HP-UX?

[Pete Randall]

The first line of /etc/inittab defines the run level:

init:3:initdefault:

See "man 4 inittab" for details.

Hi:

If you mean the default run-level at boot, then As Pete has said, this is defined as the 'initdefault' action in '/etc/inittab'.

Be advised that the startup scripts in the '/sbin/init.d' directory are run based on this init level. Run-level 3 is HP-UX's standard networked, multi-user operating state.

To change run-levels (up or down) use 'init'. See it's manpages.

If you want to perform work in single-user mode, you should boot into this level.

Regards!

Hi Rakesh,

For changing run level permanently, you have to edit /etc/inittab file
The file /etc/inittab contains an entry telling init that the initial run level for the system during boot-up should be run level 3:
#vi /etc/inittab

init:3:initdefault:

Check below link for details run level,
