Getting to runlevel 1



Hi.

In order to rsync my root, I switch to single user mode. While I'm quite 
positive that it is good that I quit my desktop session before the rsync, I'm 
not sure what good it does to switch to single user mode.

I switch to single user mode by 'shutdown -r now' and selecting it in grub. Is 
there a quicker way? 'init 1' seems to get me in a state where there are a 
few daemons running that wouldn't be otherwise.
