init Command Changes

Note the following changes to the init command:

• SunOS release 5.7 system software has eight initialization states (init states or run levels). The default init state is defined in the /etc/inittab file.

• The SunOS release 5.7 init command uses a different script for each run level instead of grouping all the run levels together in the /etc/rc, /etc/rc.boot, and /etc/rc.local files. The files, named by run level, are located in the /sbin directory.

System Administration Guide, Volume I describes this command in detail.
