Thanks, Craig! That did the trick! Should have remembered that one from
my Gentoo days.

By the way, in answer to your question, the runlevel command should do
the trick.

Just type:

% runlevel

On my computer, it returns:

david at n1zhe:~$ runlevel
N 2
david at n1zhe:~$

man runlevel for more info.

David, N1ZHE
