SySV init always killed all processes when switching to runlevel 1.  It 
was a bit kludgy though because it just did a killall as the last step 
before starting up runlevel 1 jobs, rather than just shutting down all 
jobs in the current runlevel that are not also marked for runlevel 1.

The whole point of init is that it monitors what processes are running 
on the system and makes sure that those that are not supposed to be 
running in a given runlevel are not.  The fact that some processes can 
hide from init during some runlevel transitions is a bug, not a feature.
