Hello, all... I have a (hopefully) quick question...is it possible to create a runlevel nearly identical to the default runlevel (this is 2, correct? Also, do 3-5 have different characteristics?) or else use one of the other runlevels in order to start different programs at boot? If I choose use an existing runlevel and to boot to, say, runlevel 3 instead of 2, would it go *through* runlevel 2 and then into 3, or would it jump straight to 3 and skip 2?
Basically, the goal would be to create a couple of extra kernel stanzas nearly identical to my default, adding to the kernel options a "softlevel=" statement that would tell it which runlevel to default to (unless this is a bad way of doing it, in which case I'm open to suggestions as long). The reason I would like to do this is so that if my laptop isn't directly hooked up to the Internet, I can choose whether to have it try to connect to a wireless network or just not connect at all (the current behavior is to try to connect via the wired connection even if it's not hooked in). Again, if there is a more graceful way of implementing this, I am open to suggestions. It's just sometimes irritating to have to remember to go in and hit C-c to make it stop polling for a nonexistant connection so it doesn't hang for a couple of minutes. Also, on the topic of the Internet, is there any daemon-type program I could run which would watch for my unplugging the computer from the network and then maybe poll for a wireless connection if there's one around? I mean, I don't really *mind* doing ifup/down manually, but it'd be neat to maybe streamline it a bit. Oh, and I would prefer a daemon that *wouldn't* pull in all kinds of dependencies I don't want, such as GNOME, KDE, or XFCE4.
