Hello,
could somebody help me to understand the best way to enter into a single
user mode on a remote server.
I need it for the moment, during rebuilding world, when I have to reboot
into single user mode before 'mergemaster -p'.
The only solution I found so far is to do 'shutdown -r now' and when the
server boots to login with ssh and do 'shutdown now' - which should drop
it to single user mode.
I can ask the support at the hosting location to reboot in single user
mode, but I do not know if I will have ssh then?
Alternatively I can ask them to do the last few steps.
Thank you for your advises,
Iv.
