This section describes new features related to shutting down and booting a system in the Solaris 7 release.
Bug ID 1154696 has been fixed in the Solaris 7 release. This means that you can cleanly bring your system down to run level S (or single-user mode) by using the shutdown -s or the init -s command. The inittab file and the rc scripts in the /etc/init.d directory and the /etc/rcn.d directories have been modified to ensure system run level transitions are made cleanly and efficiently.
See "Troubleshooting 64-bit Solaris Boot Problems" for information on booting a system running the 32-bit or 64-bit Solaris 7 operating environment.
