Use telinit as root. Or you can stop the processes before removing them.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/process stop
Otherwise just kill the process: killall processname or kill PID.

single user mode is like MS DOS, only one user can work on the machine 
at a time. Multi user mode is when many users can work on the machine 
simultaneously.
If the machine is running, telinit 1 as root will get you to single 
user mode, multiuser mode(s) will be 2,3,4,5, look into your 
/etc/inittab for which one of these you use.
