RUNLEVEL(8) Linux System Administrator’s Manual RUNLEVEL(8)
NAME
runlevel -- find the current and previous system runlevel.
SYNOPSIS
runlevel [utmp]
DESCRIPTION
Runlevel reads the system utmp file (typically /var/run/utmp) to locate the run-
level record, and then prints the previous and current system runlevel on its stan-
dard output, separated by a single space. If there is no previous system runlevel,
the letter N will be printed instead.
If no utmp file exists, or if no runlevel record can be found, runlevel prints the
word unknown and exits with an error.
Runlevel can be used in rc scripts as a substitute for the System-V who -r command.
However, in newer versions of init(8) this information is also available in the
environment variables RUNLEVEL and PREVLEVEL.
OPTIONS
utmp The name of the utmp file to read.
