Description of problem: If you run /sbin/runlevel shortly after boot, you actually get the 'current' and 'previous' runlevels from whenever the system last shut down. For example, if you shut down normally, you'd get: 5 6 If you didn't, you may get: N 5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): upstart-0.3.9-15.fc9.x86_64
Never mind. This is 'normal' behavior.
