What Runlevel offers full networking capabilities and starts the graphical user interface?
Assuming you're running a "classic" init system such as System V it will be runlevel 5.
Since systemd is becoming far and far more prevalent, runlevels are becoming a thing of the past for lots of Linux distributions. What replaces them are more flexible and useful "target" units. They are nice in that units can simply declare that they want to be a part of a certain target. What more is that systemd will usually even run more than one target in the average boot! The "equivalent" target for 5 in systemd is usually graphical.target, and that's usually what default.target maps to.
What else can I help you with?
Which runlevel is textual multi-user mode?
[Shutdown the system]Runlevel 1: Single user modeRunlevel 2: Basic multi user mode without NFSRunlevel 3: Full multi user mode (text based)Runlevel 4: UnusedRunlevel 5: Multi user mode with Graphical User InterfaceRunlevel 6: Reboot SystemRunlevel 3 is the answer.
What is the difference between init s and init 1?
These are different "runlevels", which determine what daemons and processes are running. Runlevel 1 is single-user mode, meaning very few daemons are running. Runlevel S is used for the basic scripts that need to run to enter runlevel 1.
The init scripts for each runlevel are contained in which directory tree?
/etc
What are 6 high level stages of Linux boot process?
The Linux boot process consists of six high-level stages: BIOS/UEFI Initialization: The system firmware initializes hardware components and performs a POST (Power-On Self-Test). Bootloader Stage: The bootloader (like GRUB or LILO) is loaded, which then loads the Linux kernel into memory. Kernel Initialization: The kernel initializes system resources, mounts the root filesystem, and prepares the system for user space. Init Process: The kernel starts the init process (usually systemd or SysVinit), which is the first user-space program. Runlevel/Target Setup: The init process sets up the desired runlevel or target, launching necessary services and processes. User Login: Finally, the system presents a login prompt or graphical interface, allowing users to log in and interact with the system.
How do you shutdown a system on the same network in Linux?
The exact meaning of this question is unclear. Most Linux systems may be shutdown in a variety of ways from the local console or a remote shell login via SSH or telnet for example. If logged in as root at a command line interface (CLI), the following commands will likely change the runlevel of most Linux systems. For a system halt, type "init 0", for a system reboot, type "init 6", for a system halt, you may also type "halt", for a system reboot, you may also type "reboot", to exit multi-user mode and enter single user mode, type "init 1" and to return to multi-user mode, try typing "init 3" and so on... Invoking the "init" command allows you to change the runlevel 'on the fly' without first executing a full shutdown of the system. If the runlevel is changed from a remote connection however, be advised that your connection will be lost if the network interfaces are shut down as a result of the runlevel change. [JMH]
How would you use telinit to switch to runlevel 5?
/etc/inittab Type [id:5:initdefault:]
Which runlevel only grants root access?
In traditional System V init systems, that'd be runlevel 1 or "single user mode." This should only be used in emergencies where normal boot is not working at all. As Linux is generally going over to systemd, the idea of a "runlevel" is going away, and instead systemd will try to hit specific "targets" during boot. You can change the run target to something like single user mode, but only if necessary.
What files defines runlevel 4 on most Linux systems?
It's generally not used or whatever the user defines it as.
Which command would let you safely switch to runlevel 2 without rebooting the computer?
B. telinit 2
What script contains the default runlevels?
The default runlevel is specified in /etc/inittab. There is no universally accepted runlevel that is specified as the "default." Red Hat and Fedora use 3 or 5, Ubuntu uses 2, Mandriva and SUSE use 5, and Gentoo uses 3. Some (a relatively small number) Linux distros do not use a SysV init style, and thus have no runlevels at all.
Run level 2 defined as for Fedora Linux?
As of today (05/15/2012), runlevel 2 on most RedHat and Fedora systems is multi-user without network support. [JMH]
What Linux command will let you most safely switch to run level 2 without rebooting the computer?
Assuming the Linux distribution in question uses a classic SysV Init, you run, as root: # init 2 If you have systemd then there is no runlevel 2. I don't know about upstart. OpenRC is built around SysV Init, but likely systems using it generally ignore runlevels in favor of the initscript configs. Further, most Linux distributions I can think of don't use runlevel 2 at all. Check the documentation for your distribution to see what it is, if anything.
