Well, I tested it, and it didn't work.

I tried this:

#!/bin/sh
init 1 && touch I_was_here
eval exit


It actually put the system in single-user mode, and it touched the file 
I_was_here, but it still showed the prompt asking what shell would I like 
to run, and it didn't come back to multi-user until I hit ^D on the console...

I'll try other things of this kind, I'll tell if I discover something.

Thanks,

Filipe.
