How do I find previous runlevels?

In case of Linux systems using SysV init (RHEL/CentOS 6 and earlier releases), the command ‘runlevel’ will print previous and the current run level. The ‘who -r’ command can also be used to print the current run level. This command will display the current target for the system.

How do I find my default runlevel Ubuntu?

To change the default runlevel, use your favorite text editor on /etc/init/rc-sysinit. conf... Change this line to whichever runlevel you want… Then, at each boot, upstart will use that runlevel.
