RC4 issues when moving to solaris 10

Question

I am moving a few Solaris 8 / Sparc boxes to to be reconfigured with Solaris 10.
I have the zones up and running without too many issues; however, we are having issues with changing run level from 3 to 4 and back.
If I remember - the inittab would point to the script files that would then run scripts within /etc/rc4.d with the start / stop option.
The rc4 script would be located in both /sbin with a symbolic link to /etc/rc4
The scripts seems to work fine if I run them manually - however, they don't seem to respond to "init 3" when I am at init level 4.
What I am looking for is detailed documentation that covers creating support for run level 4.

P.S. We use run level 4 to activate application software on our lab computers for testing.

Answer 1

If this is the first time since power up that init has entered a run level other than single-user state, init first scans /etc/inittab for boot and bootwait entries (see inittab(4)). These entries are performed before any other processing of /etc/inittab takes place, providing that the run level entered matches that of the entry. In this way any special initialization of the operating system, such as mounting file systems, can take place before users are allowed onto the system. init then scans /etc/inittab and executes all other entries that are to be processed for that run level.

wait
When init enters the run level that matches the entry's rstate, start the process and wait for its termination. All subsequent reads of the inittab file while init is in the same run level cause init to ignore this entry.
