user mode

How am I going to change user mode beside shutting down the system or edit the /etc/inittab? Any others way that I can change from multi user mode to single user mode?

Re: user mode

Hi,
Are you talking about run lavel ?
do who -r to check the current run lavel.

init s or 1 =single user mode
init 2 =multi user mode without networking
init 3 =multi user mode with network
init 6 = reboot

Hope this helps

Did you take a backup?
