Well, didn't work either. As I'm seeing it, when I run "init 1", it kills 
all running processes. Then, when all of them are killed, it opens another 
shell (that's when it asks which shell you want or /bin/sh). When that 
shell exits, then it's when it gets back to multi-user mode.

As I see it, the way to do it would be telling init (somehow) that it would 
have to open another shell that is not /bin/sh in a non-interactive way, so 
that you could place a script in /root/update_single_user.sh, and then when 
the script would go to the single user mode, it would run this script, and 
when this script finishes, it would get back to multi-user mode.
