LPIC (Linux) Q.14. - Rebooting

[ramesh]

Which command will cause a Linux system to reboot?

[death_knight]

i rarely use this tho.. generally use shutdown now -r

[ramesh]

True, but this question is there to see if individuals know what the different runlevels do.

So much stuff to know...

The RedHat Bible + online research.. priceless when it comes to linux
Doubt u can find the book in most bookshops though

So far, everyone got the right answer.

init 0 shuts down the system
init 1 starts Linux in 'single' mode
init 2 (never used)
init 3 multi-user mode
init 4 (never used)
init 5 multi-user graphic mode
init 6 reboots system

I have to argue with runlevel 2 and 4..

your explanation applies to redhat but not all distributions.

My distro uses runlevel 4 for gui.

[ramesh]

It's true that these questions do lean towards Red Hat methods.... The never used should actually be not officially defined. Other distros (and perhaps system administrators) may determine how these runlevels are defined.

very interesting again. I've only had the need for 'shutdown now -r' thus far. but very interesting.
