NAME

6       telinit - Change SysV runlevel
7

SYNOPSIS

9       telinit [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}
10

DESCRIPTION

12       telinit may be used to change the SysV system runlevel. Since the
13       concept of SysV runlevels is obsolete the runlevel requests will be
14       transparently translated into systemd unit activation requests.
15

OPTIONS

17       The following options are understood:
18
19       --help
20           Prints a short help text and exits.
21
22       --no-wall
23           Don´t send wall message before reboot/halt/power-off.
24
25       The following commands are understood:
26
27       0
28           Power-off the machine. This is translated into an activation
29           request for poweroff.target and is equivalent to systemctl
30           poweroff.
31
32       6
33           Reboot the machine. This is translated into an activation request
34           for reboot.target and is equivalent to systemctl reboot.
35
36       2, 3, 4, 5
37           Change the SysV runlevel. This is translated into an activation
38           request for runlevel2.target, runlevel3.target, ... and is
39           equivalent to systemctl isolate runlevel2.target, systemctl isolate
40           runlevel3.target, ...
41
42       1, s, S
43           Change into system rescue mode. This is translated into an
44           activation request for rescue.target and is equivalent to systemctl
45           rescue.
46
47       q, Q
48           Reload daemon configuration. This is equivalent to systemctl
49           daemon-reload.
50
51       u, U
52           Serialize state, reexecute daemon and deserialize state again. This
53           is equivalent to systemctl daemon-reexec.
54

EXIT STATUS

56       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
57

NOTES

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60       not be used anymore, as the concept of runlevels is obsolete.
