NAME

   telinit - Change SysV runlevel

SYNOPSIS

   telinit [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}

DESCRIPTION

   telinit may be used to change the SysV system runlevel. Since the
   concept of SysV runlevels is obsolete the runlevel requests will be
   transparently translated into systemd unit activation requests.

OPTIONS

   The following options are understood:

   --help
       Print a short help text and exit.

   --no-wall
       Do not send wall message before reboot/halt/power-off.

   The following commands are understood:

   0
       Power-off the machine. This is translated into an activation
       request for poweroff.target and is equivalent to systemctl
       poweroff.

   6
       Reboot the machine. This is translated into an activation request
       for reboot.target and is equivalent to systemctl reboot.

   2, 3, 4, 5
       Change the SysV runlevel. This is translated into an activation
       request for runlevel2.target, runlevel3.target, ... and is
       equivalent to systemctl isolate runlevel2.target, systemctl isolate
       runlevel3.target, ...

   1, s, S
       Change into system rescue mode. This is translated into an
       activation request for rescue.target and is equivalent to systemctl
       rescue.

   q, Q
       Reload daemon configuration. This is equivalent to systemctl
       daemon-reload.

   u, U
       Serialize state, reexecute daemon and deserialize state again. This
       is equivalent to systemctl daemon-reexec.

EXIT STATUS

   On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.

NOTES

   This is a legacy command available for compatibility only. It should
   not be used anymore, as the concept of runlevels is obsolete.
