It appears you have executed rc(1m) and possibly have executed scripts that are called when the run level changes.

You could look at /etc/rc.log for recent messages of what happened.

You might be able to undo this by "init 3"

Hi HANDLY,

thanQ for your quick reply,,

It looks like it did an alphanumeric compare and changed from runlevel 3 to level 1.

Try "init 3".

[RAKUNTA]

it is clearly showing
--------------------------------
root@BCM#who -r
. run-level 3 Aug 24 14:02 3 0 S
----------------------------------
root@BCM#uptime
3:50pm up 120 days, 1:49, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.01
-----------------------------------
if i give #init 3
it will effect on my up time report
so is there any way to do something?

Your system is already "down", what do you care?

[RAKUNTA]

sorry
#init 3
is not working \
root@DC-BCM#init 3
root@DC-BCM#who -r
. run-level 3 Aug 24 14:02 3 0 S
-------------

I assume you looked at /etc/rc.log and saw nothing there too?

What does this show?
/sbin/getrunlvl

If "init 3" doesn't do anything because it still thinks it is at 3, you could try:
rc ignore 3

[Dennis Handly]

And if the above doesn't work, you'll need to do:
init 1
init 3

now its ok
