try 'man inittab' to understand what runlevel is. I'm not sure that using the runlevels to change on 'plugged' state is accurate. There is much more tools and flexibility on using apm, acpi, ifplugd, etc... A runlevel is a 'state' on your system, describing what must run, and what must not. For example: runlevel: Status: 1 System in single user 2 System in multi-user, without network 3 multi-users, network, text mode 4 idem + graphic prompting etc... If you suspect some strange network activity, you can switch from level 3 to level 2 with 'init 2' command, and then diagnose the problem. Then return to level 3 or more using 'init 3' or 'init 4' command. for battery, lan, leap year (? <g>), you can use /etc/ifplugd/... /etc/apm/... or cron to change your system behaviour.
