Unless, of course, you're on an NCR Tower running their distribution of
SysVr3.  Then run state 1 is multi-user mode!  Doncha just love the way
people REALLY BELIEVE in standards?  I've got about a half dozen Unix
machines to administer, and I just love it when my fingers (running
ahead of my brain) type something like "telinit 2" when it should have
been "telinit 1" (but only on this one machine....)
