Apart from the many people pointing out that this is what runlevels are
for, I will point out that it is not a safe assumption to presume that
/proc/cmdline exists... (some systems really mean "proc" when they have
/proc mounted, if they have it mounted at all, not "random system
information").
It also looks like /proc/self/cmdline is more universal, if anyone did
need to do something of the sort.
