For single user mode, I can't say if it is definetly necessary, but I guess they want just to make sure, nothing else connects to the box.
Maybe you can get along with a /etc/nologin but if you want to be totally sure, you do a correct update, follow the docu which comes with every ML/TL.
We don't have TL8 yet live, we have currently max. 5300-07-02-0806 installed. If you don't have a dire need for applying TL8, I would not apply it^^ I think always 1-2 versions behind is ok - no idea how new TL8 is though.
Thanks a lot for your very soon reply !
I am very agree with your advice about staying 1/2 version behind.
I decided to apply TL8 as it was created 6 Month ago, and as AIX 6 is now there.
Concerning TL8 application, the procedure isn't talking about any application stop, nor single user mode. That's why I am asking all of this.
