This is a document to help system administrators who need to understand what commands in systemd replace their old workflow in SysVinit.

Runlevels

runlevels are used with telinit and on the kernel command line in SystemVinit. These traditional ways of switching runlevels still work with systemd, but additionally, the following can be used instead.

SystemVinit Runlevel Systemd Target Notes
0 Halt the system.
1, s, single, emergency Single user mode.
2, 4 User/sites may define runlevels with sets of packages for these.
3 runlevel3.target, multi-user.target Multi-user, non-graphical. Users can usually login via multiple consoles or via the network.
5 runlevel5.target, graphical.target Multi-user, graphical. Usually has all the services of runlevel 3 plus a graphical login.
6 Reboot
