The advantage of running your dedicated application from its own run level includes
the following:
•
Less competition for CPU resources from unused daemons
•
Increased security by not running services that permit external
login attempts
•
Restricted physical access—login only via the serial port console
(when configured)
•
Automatic restart of your application after a power failure
With run levels 3, 4, and 5 to work with, you can configure a mix of different
dedicated application profiles.
