Are you sure? I have an account at a friends machine and it /etc/rc tells
me:

# System startup script run by init on autoboot
# or after single-user.

This would mean that if you would boot up, go to single-user, and back to
multi-user, it would get run again. Unless you are totally sure there is no
single-user/multi-user approach the way Linux has.
