So, there is no corelation, since Linux is not a GNU project :) (let the flamewar begin).
Linux _is_ a GNU operating system. And the design of Linux is heavily influenced by the preferred GNU platform at the time he designed it over the first few years.
That's what I was referring to, the "influence" on the design.
Linux IS NOT a GNU operating system. Linux is Linus Pet Project, and thats all. Linux is not even an operating system, it is just a Kernel and, again, it is not a GNU Kernel. HURD is a GNU kernel.
A Linux distribution (exception being Debian) is not more a GNU operating system than a X11/BSD/Name-Your-License Operating system.
As I said, it is not that it doesn't apply to Solaris. It is just that I can't say that, since I don't know.
Solaris' run-levels don't match FC/RHL-based ones. ;->
Can you elaborate, please.
Not from AT&T ehehehe
Then who makes the so-called "UNIX-like Standard" then? We refer to them as System-V -- as in AT&T System V -- style init. So at this point, I'm pretty certain there is no standard.
I'll find it. Just need time to look for it.
Okey. We are disgressing here. I agree with you that the inits are different. In every conceivable way. I'm just talking about runlevels ?)
If you mean that run-levels exist, then yes, that's a System-V style init. No disagreement there.
But there is really no "standard" to what each level does -- although most designate 6 for reboot, 0 for shutdown and 1 for single-user. That is about the only commonality.
Same answer.
I will. Eventually. I just need time to look for it, but I'm in the middle of 2 big projects right now, so it might take a few days.
Oh, no rush. I'd just like it for future reference when I run into others. I don't mean to be skeptical, but unless it was AT&T's official System-V init, I don't know how anyone could show it as lineage as the "standard."
Same answer :)
