Hpux 11.i rp5470

[Fermin Jamieson]

I know how to boot to single user mode.
Now how do I return to normal user mode or
regular mode.
Thanks

Init 5 is the normal mode, so when u are in single user mode, just type init 5, it will take u to normal mode, or best it to reboot.
use reboot -r

[Rashid Hamid]

I think the best way is to reboot the machine. shutdown -r 0 to reboot

[Steven E. Protter]

shutdown is the only supported way to get out of single user mode. I do not recommend the init commands.

Actually run-level 3 is the normal multi-user mode for HP-UX, not 5. 5 is the norm for Linux, I believe.

I have brought machines back to normal multi-user mode both via 'shutdown -r' and via 'init 3' and both work equally well.

[Biswajit Tripathy]

Run level 3 and 4 are normal operating mode for
HP-UX and 5 or 6 are user defined levels. To be
safe, you could say "init 6" and you should be
back at the normal system operation level. But I
agree that it's better to reboot if that's not a big
issue.

Just don't do an 'init 6' if you are on a solaris machine. If I recall correctly, that initiates a reboot in solaris.

Hi

when you are in single user mode
#init 3

will bring you to multiuser mode

[Hoang Chi Cong_1]

The normal user mode is lever 3.
Just use with "init 3" command

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

DO AS FOLLOWING
#mount /usr
#init 3

Thanks P.Wallek and B.Tripthy you were both proven right. Thanks again for the help
