Runlevels 2-5 are all the same (except, possibly, for the number of getty's started). From what I can tell, runlevels 0 (halt), 1 (single-user), and 6 (reboot) stop mostly the same services.

Assuming you haven't started/stopped anything manually and haven't changed the default configuration, this will restart pretty much everything. But that seems like an awfully big hammer to wave around to kick one service that's behaving poorly; better to do /etc/init.d/<service> restart to stop and start the one thing you care about. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
