That's complete and utter arse gravy I'm afraid.
Solaris (the modern incarnation of SunOS) starts X at runlevel 2, along with all other multi-user facilites except networking (which it starts at runlevel 3). runlevel 5, which RedHat traditionally uses for starting X, is shutdown! HP-UX starts X at runlevel 4; 2 is the multi-user mode, 3 enables NFS. 5 is unused. OpenBSD uses runlevels to determine security levels. ULTRIX, Digital Unix / Tru64 all start X at runlevel 2, but do not enable NFS until runlevel 3. Irix starts X at runlevel 2, with networking in 3. 5 is "enter firmware" mode. SysV starts X at runlevel 2, with NFS enabled in 3. 5 is "enter firmware" And, not to put a too fine a point on it, but runlevels weren't even _introduced_ until AT&T UNIX System V! (Which is why we call it "sysvinit"). Previous UNIXes used a single /etc/rc script, or iterated a single /etc/rc.d directory. -- "telinit 2" doesn't stop X https://launchpad.net/bugs/44314 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
