Switching between system runlevels

[Andrew Falanga <afalanga@linora.com>]

Hi again,

       Well, I think I've got my X stuff figured out.  At least, for the 
time being.  I had forgotten about the ctrl+alt+keypad +/- for switching 
between display modes, and after reading through some X man pages I was 
reminded of it.  I had finally gotten a stable server running, it was 
just that the default display was set to 1024x768 with a display size of 
?640x480?  Anyway, that problem is overted for the time being.

       Now, the question at hand.  Is there a way to switch from one run 
level to the other without doing a system reboot and entering -s at the 
boot prompt?  (Side note, yes, I'm running on the i386 architecture.) 
 I've been reading through the halt(8), reboot(8), boot_i386(8) man 
pages but I'm not really finding what I want, and I've tried doing 
things like 'init <run level>' but all I get is init is already running. 
 Evidently, that type of init switching is only supported on SVRxx type 
systems?  I hope I've worded that correctly.  Anyway, I'm just 
wondering.  This type of functionality has been rather valuable to me 
lately while troubleshooting Linux systems and I was wondering if such 
functionality was supported in OpenBSD.

Thanks for the help with X too by the way.

Andy
