Solaris Run-Levels
------------------

     0     Go into firmware.

     1     Put the system in system administrator mode. All local
           file  systems  are mounted. Only a small set of essen-
           tial kernel processes are left running. This  mode  is
           for  administrative  tasks such as installing optional
           utility packages. All  files  are  accessible  and  no
           users are logged in on the system.

     2     Put the system  in  multi-user  mode.  All  multi-user
           environment   terminal   processes   and  daemons  are
           spawned. This state is commonly  referred  to  as  the
           multi-user state.

     3     Extend  multi-user  mode  by  making  local  resources
           available over the network.

     4     Is available to be defined as  an  alternative  multi-
           user  environment  configuration.  It is not necessary
           for system operation and is usually not used.

     5     Shut the machine down so that it is safe to remove the
           power. Have the machine remove power, if possible.

     6     Stop the operating system  and  reboot  to  the  state
           defined by the initdefault entry in /etc/inittab.
