Correction.  In System V Release 3.2:

	0 == Halt
	1 == Single user mode.  Can be entered only from the console.
        2 == Normal multi-user mode.
        3 == Multi-user remote-file-sharing mode.
        4 == User definable multi-user mode.
        5 == Stop UNIX and enter firmware mode.
        6 == Stop UNIX and reboot to the state defined in '/etc/inittab'.
        S == Single user mode.  Terminal that executed this command
             becomes the console.
