I _think_ it is to do with the runtime level that you look at... but then  
I only have a vague idea of the various System V run levels other than  
single user mode(1), multiuser mode (2-5) and ofcourse reboot (6) and halt  
(0). I.e. what the difference between the multi-user runtime levels is is  
not clear to me...

I'll have a dig around and see what I can find...
