Run Levels in Opensuse

Can anyone tell me what run level 4 is used for in opensuse, if anything. I know the others - 0,1,2,3,5,6 - but I can’t find anything about run level 4.

Thanks.

From man init.d:

4 The run level 4 is not (yet) used.

you can use rl4 to create a custom run level… without any risk to seriously damaging your system by pruning run-level scripts.

Wow. I didn’t know that.

I love this forum. I always feel smart after a visit here. Too bad the effect doesn’t last longer. I’m here every day-or-so :-).

Thanks.
