My guess is that one of the scripts in /etc/rc0.d is hanging. Do an ls -l in that directory and check the recent additions. If not that, my next guess would be that /sbin/uadmin is missing or corrupt.

I know if a parent process exits before its child, the last one becomes orphan for a while and then is added to the children of Init process.
I'd like to know deeper
1 how the orphan becomes init process,
2 how init knows that from a some point on it has another child.
Thank you in advance. (2 Replies)

Dear all,
I typed in init 1 on my redhat box as root and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel):
1 Single-User Mode Does not configure network interfaces, start daemons, or allow non-root logins
So now I can't connect back to it. How do I change the init back to 3?... (8 Replies)

I know that both will work to change the current run level to single user mode.
Is there any difference in those two commands? (5 Replies)

uadmin(1M) uadmin(1M)
NAME
uadmin - administrative control
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep]
/sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep]
The uadmin command provides control for basic administrative functions. This command is tightly coupled to the system administration proce-
dures and is not intended for general use. It may be invoked only by the super-user.
Both the cmd (command) and fcn (function) arguments are converted to integers and passed to the uadmin system call. The optional mdep
(machine dependent) argument is only available for the cmd values of 1 (A_REBOOT), 2 (A_SHUTDOWN), or 5 (A_DUMP). For any other cmd value,
no mdep command-line argument is allowed.
When passing an mdep value that contains whitespaces, the string must be grouped together as a single argument enclosed within quotes, for
example:
uadmin 1 1 "-s kernel/unix"

uadmin(2), attributes(5)
On systems, shutting down the system by means of uadmin does not update the boot archive. Avoid using this command after manual editing of
files such as /etc/system or driver.conf(4).
