question on changing runlevels
I assist with a server running RHEL v4. It has runlevel 3 set as default in the inittab.
On occasion, I like to switch to runlevel 5 to run gui tools. I do this by running 'init 5' . When I am done, I run 'init 3'. I see processes being started and/or killed.
My question is this: does the runlevel change via init cause any interruption to the application this server is running? It seems that there is no interruption to any service.
