What is it? (was Re: Current Run-Level: How can you tell?)

[Crimson Avenger]

In the AT&T System 5, Release 4 book (Complete Reference by Obsorn McGraw-Hill)
I think you mean system initialization state levels:

State		Function 
0		Power off 
1		Single User mode
2		Multi-user mode
3		Multi-user with network
4		Not used
5		Shutdown to ROM
6		Shutdown and Reboot
s		Single-user mode
S		Single-user with remote console

With these definitions, I don't think some of them apply to PCs, I have a 
PC, but don't have unix up and running yet.  I think a couple of those 
don't apply to the PC, like Power off, or Shutdown to ROM.  I think in some
machine, you can literally power off the computer via a software command.  
Not on PCs yet.

Hope this helps, not sure.  .
