There are some special runlevels that you should be aware of:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "shutdown"
|
|
|
|
|
.It Ar sysinit
|
|
|
|
|
Brings up any system specific stuff such as
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /dev ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /proc
|
|
|
|
|
and optionally
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /sys
|
2008-01-15 14:56:29 +05:30
|
|
|
for Linux based systems. It also mounts
|
2007-12-20 21:24:19 +05:30
|
|
|
.Pa /lib/rc/init.d
|
2008-03-08 20:48:53 +05:30
|
|
|
as a ramdisk using tmpfs where available unless / is mounted rw at boot.
|
2007-12-20 21:24:19 +05:30
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
uses
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /lib/rc/init.d
|
|
|
|
|
to hold state information about the services it runs.
|
|
|
|
|
sysinit always runs when the host first starts should not be run again.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Ar boot
|
|
|
|
|
Generally the only services you should add to the boot runlevel are those
|
|
|
|
|
which deal with the mounting of filesystems, set the initial state of attached
|
|
|
|
|
peripherals and logging.
|
2008-10-27 23:31:03 +05:30
|
|
|
Hotplugged services are added to the boot runlevel by the system.
|
|
|
|
|
All services in the boot and sysinit runlevels are automatically included
|
|
|
|
|
in all other runlevels except for those listed here.
|

2008-10-27 23:31:03 +05:30

You should not call any of these runlevels yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead you should use
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr shutdown 8
|
|
|
|
|
and let them call these special runlevels.
