ive just been experimenting with trying to understand how init scripts work. .. so i wrote some from scratch.

Now i thought that the scripts would have to work out what the previous runlevel was (using an exported shell variable) and stop the previous runlevel, but this doesnt seem to be working. It struck me that the shell the init script runs in when entering a runlevel wont be the same shell the init script for the other runlevel runs in so exported variable wont work, make sense ?

Could someone clarify how the current lfs init scripts detect the previous runlevel.

cheers

Dave
