.TH RUNLEVEL 8 "May 27, 1997" "sysvinit @VERSION@" "Linux System Administrator's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
runlevel - find the previous and current system runlevel
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B runlevel
|
|
.RI [ utmp ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B runlevel
|
|
reads the system
|
|
.I utmp
|
|
file (typically
|
|
.IR /var/run/utmp )
|
|
to locate the runlevel record, and then
|
|
prints the previous and current system runlevel on its standard output,
|
|
separated by a single space. If there is no previous system
|
|
runlevel, the letter \fBN\fP will be printed instead.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no
|
|
.I utmp
|
|
file exists, and if no runlevel record can be found in the
|
|
.I /var/run/runlevel
|
|
file,
|
|
.B runlevel
|
|
prints the word \fBunknown\fP and exits with an error.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B Runlevel
|
|
can be used in \fIrc\fP scripts as a substitute for the System-V
|
|
\fBwho -r\fP command.
|
|
However, in newer versions of \fBinit\fP(8) this information
|
|
is also available in the environment variables \fBRUNLEVEL\fP and
|
|
\fBPREVLEVEL\fP.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

.\"{{{ utmp
|
