runlevel not passed to init scripts

[Marco Ciampa]

Binary package hint: upstart

As reported here:

and here:

upstart _should_ support allowing the user to select the default runlevel from the kernel command line.

The solution is pretty easy: just replace /etc/event.d/rc.default with one working right (I've tested extensively just the last example).

Hello,

Up

This should actually be phrased as upstart MUST support various runlevels.
Went the same path as Marco Ciampa, and achieved the same results.
In the current offer, upstart only has support dor the built-in recovery mode plus ONE runlevel.
This is a nonstandard behaviour which causes perplexity to many.
While looking for a solution, I came across several apparent dead ends where others may stop.
Choice of any runlevel among several is a standard feature which cannot be given up or made harder to set up.

Regards,

Dr. Moe
