[Chester LUG] More runlevel stuff

Couple of commands are interesting here "who -a" and "who -r". 

who -r gives the current runlevel and also the last runlevel the system was
in. 

Output 
         run-level 2  2008-04-08 08:03                   last=S

As you can see this system (unbuntu debian) goes straight from runlevel "S"
single user mode to "2" default runlevel.  

It bypasses runlevel "1" on the way there. This is actually what it says on
the man page. 

I would be interested to know if Redhat does something similar?
