Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode) If you think you can be a resource person for training programs of our LUG, attend meeting on 19th Nov. at 4pm at HBCSE. _______________________________________________ Hi, I use RHL 6.2 on my machine with the default runlevel set to 5. But while working I had switched to runlevel 3 for some work and then decided to go back to the graphics mode. Problem is that I typed "init 7" at the root prompt by mistake. Since this is not defined anywhere, it caused init to shutdown all running programs. Also getty was no longer present at the VT's for logging into the system. So I was locked out of the system and had to reset the machine! Is there a workaround for this? My guess is that the telinit script as well as init should be modified to check whether a runlevel really exists before switching to that. One way would be to check for the corresponding rc directory and also to see if a getty line exists in /etc/inittab for that runlevel ... Sameer. _______________________________________________ Next Meet on 10th Dec 2000 at HBCSE Website: http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/ Ftp site: ftp.ilug-bom.org.in Linuxers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers CHAT: irc.ilug-bom.org.in
