Operating Systems Solaris difference between init and shutdown Post 302338311 by Scott on Monday 27th of July 2009 02:46:58 PM

Init is also more flexible for switching run-levels... as I have to do because "startx" doesn't work on my Linux - gives some blah blah error about something. Being too lazy to fix it, I use "init 5" instead, which works just fine! (that's my Linux - init 5 means different things on different Unix's).

(actually, slightly inaccurate: init isn't more flexible (because you can specify a new run-level using shutdown) - but it's simpler to use init sometimes)
