System state 2 is the normal operating state of the system when it is not connected to a network. In this system state, several users can be logged on, using the system's resources simultaneously.
This procedure executes the /sbin/rc2 script, which runs processes in the /etc/rc2.d directory, and also runs /sbin/dinit, which runs processes in the /etc/dinit.d directory. Running init 2 also initiates the Service Access Facility (SAF), which manages access to your system through ports and other communication devices. This enables login prompts on any configured terminals and incoming network communications on other communication devices. (See ``The Service Access Facility'' for more information.)
Use this procedure to change to multiuser state from single-user state.
