Les runlevels

Runlevels are init Scripts graphically configurable with Gservice.

If you don't specify additional parameter (example : 'init=/path/to/init'), the kernel will start /sbin/init at the end of its boot.

According to /etc/inittab, init will launch :

  • 1) Each script S* in /et/rc.d/rcS.d
  • 2) Each script S* in /etc/rc.d/rcn.d, where n is the execution level. By default, the execution level is defined to 4.


List of available execution levels :

  • 0 = stop
  • 1 = simple user mode
  • 2 = unused (but configured like the level 3)
  • 3 = multi-user mode (text only)
  • 4 = multi-user mode, X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (level by default on Frugalware)
  • 5 = unused (but configured like the level 3)
  • 6 = reboot

If X11 is configured, /etc/rc.d/rc.4 will launch a desktop environment, like it is configured in /etc/sysconfig/desktop.
