9978.0. "init 0 prevents dupatch from running" by DYOSW5::WILDER (Does virtual reality get swapped?) Thu May 29 1997 10:35
Interesting.....
In order to shut a system down, the current recommended way is to do
init 0
This will do a gracefull shutdown, runn all the stop scriots, and halt
the system.
Now, if you boot to single user mode ( boot -fl s) in order to run
dupatch, dupatch will not run. It tells you you need to be in single
user mode. who -r show a run level of 0. You must do init s
to reset the run state.
This shounds like a bug in either dupatch (not recognizing a run level
of 0) or a bug in DUNIX not setting the run level correctly when
booting to single user mode.
Now, if you do a shutdown -h now followed by boot -fl s and then do
who -r you get NO information on the run level. who -r returns a
blank line, which I assume that dupatch interprets as being single user
mode.
What is this, a bug in dupatch or a bug in DUNIX? Either way, it
should be looked at.

| I came across this a while back, I thought I'd noted it, I obviously
only wrote a stars article - we believe it's something to do with
the fact that the file system comes up read-only at the point when
it would be updating what the run level is.

| 9978.2 | bcheckrc runs fine | DYOSW5::WILDER | Does virtual reality get swapped? | Thu May 29 1997 17:21 | 5 |
| I can run bcheckrc just fine. Then if I run who -r it shows run
level of 0, and dupatch won't run.
