Run Level Description
0 PROM mode. It is used to bring a running system to the OK
prompt, either to turn the system off or to perform a PROM
mode function.

only the minimum number of file systems are mounted. Minimal
services are started.
1 Single-user administrative mode. All file systems are
accessible. Minimal services are started.
2 Standard multiuser mode. Generally, all normal services
are started, except the Network File Service (NFS) and any
service that relies on NFS being available.

service that relies on NFS being available. Run level 3 is
the default run level.
4 Unused or user defined. This run level is not currently
used. Some users define special services to start in this mode.
5 Shutdown mode. Run level 5 performs equivalently to run
level 0, except that it also powers down the system, if
