How do I get single user mode (init s) to not prompt for the root password so I can run a batch program for disk to disk copy and tape backups
Hi. I run a primary to secondary disk copy script and a tape backup script from single user mode every friday night. It has to run in single user mode because the gui and oracle and apache and tomcat need to get backed up and if I run from multi-user mode, critical data is not backed up, due to files being in use by processes. I need to be able to run an "init s" and then after the script is complete, run an "init 3" or a "reboot" after a wait state to get the OS back to normal for the morning shift. My problem is, that even though I am logged in as root, "init s" prompts for the root password to get into maintenance mode. Is there a way get around this so I can run my script from a cron job? If not, can you provide me a script that stops all unecessary processes (i.e. oracle, tomcat, apache, etc.), copies the entire contenets of the primary disk to the sescondary disk (i.e. in the eveny of a failure, I can swap the two hard drives), backs up the whole system to tape (the primary hard drive and the StorEdge 3300 (mount points /, /var, a01, a02, a03, a04, a05)? My existing script looks like this:
set -vx
# Make sure the mount point is free
umount /mnt
trap 'exit 1' 1 2
echo "Backup of boot disk started on " `date`
# Check the disk and clean it up.

To get a crash course in how Run Levels and scripts interact in Solaris, see this PAQ --> https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21146972/Deamons-Looking-for-which-script-or-what-files-starts-the-deamons.html
Generally speaking, to get from Run Level 3 to, say, Run Level 1, you should execute /etc/rc3.d/K* and /etc/rc2.d/K*, passing each script a parameter of "stop". Thus --> /etc/rc2.d/K91something stop
That's the brute-force way. A nicer way is to identify those specific daemons you need stopped, and execute just their unload scripts, and not every unload script in the /etc/rc?.d sub-dir structure.

> .. how do I identify all the shutdown scripts ..
as stated in your initial question, you only do the "init s" 'cause of processes with exclusive file locks and/or unflushed data, like oracle.
Why not simply shutdown those processes. That should be enough for a backup. Solaris don't use processes which cannot be backed-up while running, or they have a special backup mode (like ldap).
