How to I change init levels after typing init 1
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? Naturally I can't ssh to it and the box is in the server room, which I don't have access to Smilie

Could you suggest what I can do?

Many many thanks,

Dave

try
Code:
runlevel n

where n is the desired runlevel you want.

Hey gaurav1086, thanks for the reply.

But how to I connect to the machine? I can't remotely access it and I can't go into the server room.

Ah alright. I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow and tell the server admins. Thanks for your help.

Yes, you will have to wait. There is no magic that can make this work. You have essentially parachuted out of the airplane, but can't fall upward back in.

I like the explanation and thanks for the reply :P

Hopefully the admins tomorrow can help me get back on board.

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.
