askrunlevel8

Usage

Overview

askrunlevel is generally called at the end of the initial boot script, just before jumping to the proper runlevel (enabling multi-user). The command does some cleanup for Linuxconf and prints the following message

Hit any key to enter Linuxconf configuration mode
Hit <Enter> to resume the boot sequence
The boot sequence will resume in 20 seconds

The configuration mode allows you to perform the following task:

Select the graphical option mode (runlevel 5 generally)
Select the text operation mode
Configure the workstation (enter linuxconf main menu)
Select a system profile
Enter maintenance mode (a shell with nothing else running)

askrunlevel is currently a symbolic link to /bin/linuxconf.
