RE: Reboot Solaris and Oracle 9i install

init 3 is useful for updating a system, as it eliminates a lot of extraneous stuff that you may not want running.

Or even init 1 (single user mode ) if necessary.

For some reason, my habit is to use the init commands (init 6 for example) to restart workstations, and /etc/shutdown for workstations.

Is there any reason the list is aware of to prefer one over the other?
