Change Oracle Linux Run Level

in this example, we have Oracle 11gR2 Installed On Oracle Linux, but we only want to use the GUI when we need it, to leave the rest of the system available for database processing, so we are going to change to run level 3, so there’s no GUI unless called

login as root (yes)

Oracle Linux root terminal

vi /etc/inittab

vi /etc/inittab command in the Oracle Linux terminal

Change the Run Level to 3

/etc/inittab default runlevel set to 3 (id:3:initdefault)

as you can see, this just does not initialize x11 unless called.

Save + quit and then reboot

Oracle Linux 6.3 text-mode login prompt after reboot

as you can see we have only the CLI running, login as root

Running startx from the root shell

issue the startx command
