hi,
I found today that my runlevel is set to 5, but I have no idea where it
comes from.
in /etc/inittab, it is set to 2, but I saw that this file is no more used.

Perhaps sysvconfig would do what you want. It includes a
runlevel editor and a "service" script.
That was my immediate reaction to your query, as well. Take

e work out what you mean by "shutting them
all off by hand" or what sort of a tool you want. What are you trying to
achieve? Perhaps sysvconfig would do what you want. It includes a
runlevel editor and a "service" script.
BTW why are you installing servers you don't need run
n FTP server with SSH,
and another desktop for just mail, and then two laptops for doing the
same thing I do on Desktops but in a different way.
Now that I'm done rambling so that I could explain my set up and what I
do normally, here is my question:
In SUSE, I'd use YAST2 and open the
irectory, then nothing should be running that would make changes
to your files. So this would be pretty safe.
Generally, run backups from single user mode (or runlevel 1). It's much
safer.

I think you should just backup your / with rsync and its option
--exclude-from in order to ignore /proc, /sys, /mnt, /media, /tmp and so
on...
Simply put items to ignore into a text :
/proc
/sys
/tmp
/mnt
/media
...
then call rsync:
rsync --exclude-from=...
Indeed, It is also possible to o

Hi.
In order to rsync my root, I switch to single user mode. While I'm quite
positive that it is good that I quit my desktop session before the rsync, I'm
not sure what good it does to switch to single user mode.
I switch to single user mode by 'shutdown -r now' and selecting it in grub. Is
