Oracle Exam 1Z0-580 Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

Note:

* The services started by svc.startd are referred to as milestones. The milestone concept replaces the traditional run levels that were used in previous versions of Solaris. A milestone is a special type of service that represents a group of services. A milestone is made up of several SMF services. For example, the services that instituted run levels S, 2, and 3 in previous version of Solaris are now represented by milestone services named:

milestone/single-user (equivalent to run level S)

milestone/multi-user (equivalent to run level 2)

milestone/multi-user-server (equivalent to run level 3)

* Shut down the system.

# shutdown -iinit-state -ggrace-period -y

-iinit-state

Brings the system to an init state that is different from the default of S. The choices are 0, 1, 2, 5, and 6.

Run levels 0 and 5 are states reserved for shutting the system down. Run level 6 reboots the system. Run level 2 is available as a multiuser operating state.
