Well, not from its perspective. From init's/rc's perspective,
sure.. there sort of is one.
You could check for /var/run/dmesg.boot beforehand, but not if
you're dropping into singleuser mode from multiuser mode. You can do
some rc tricks to determine whether or not certain services have been
started to achieve whatever you want to for your scripts.
