As /etc/inittab tells, runlevel 1 is "single user mode".
I assume the boot-parameter "single" would bring to it too.
As long as you launch your database, http and whatever from
proper init scripts (/etc/rc.d/init.d) which are specified
to run in high runlevels (usually 3 to 5), init would make
sure they're shut down on the other levels.
man 8 chkconfig
for more info on writing init scripts correctly.
