I just tried those runlevels 7-9, with sysvinit_2.71-2. It just need few modifications to have them work: * add rc[7-9].d, and 'cp -d rc2.d/* rcX.d' to get packages setup * add in inittab: runlevel (l7,l8,l9) entries, 7-9-awareness into getty and ctrl-alt-del entries (entries 1-6 and ca) There would surely be other things to update if they are to be used in debian (eg. update-rc.d). That just go fine, until you try to use 'halt' or 'reboot': as specified in the manpage (yes :), these only call shutdown when in runlevel 1-5. Quite strange IMHO. *BE CAREFUL* trying to reproduce it, it (probably among other unclean things) doesn't unmount cleanly filesystems. I don't know the reason why RLs 7-9 are handled just like 0 and 6. I think it should at least be possible to choose which behaviour they have in this case, if the current behaviour is meaningful (IMHO, it is only meaningful for halt/reboot-like actions).
