There are other "aliases" for single, such as "1".  Some people might
come up in single user mode using one of those alternative boot parameters.
I don't know whether there's an exhaustive list of all of them anywhere,
either.

I suggest using the runlevel(8) command instead, assuming that it returns
reliable information.  The man page says it's safe to use in rc scripts, but
I haven't tried it myself.
