Since the concept of SysV runlevels is obsolete the runlevel requests will be transparently translated into systemd unit activation requests\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP The following options are understood: .PP \fB\-\-help\fR .RS 4 Print a short help text and exit\&. .RE .PP \fB\-\-no\-wall\fR .RS 4 Do not send wall message before reboot/halt/power\-off\&. .RE .PP The following commands are understood: .PP \fB0\fR .RS 4 Power\-off the machine\&. This is translated into an activation request for poweroff\&.target and is equivalent to \fBsystemctl poweroff\fR\&. .RE .PP \fB6\fR .RS 4 Reboot the machine\&. This is translated into an activation request for reboot\&.target and is equivalent to \fBsystemctl reboot\fR\&. .RE .PP \fB2\fR, \fB3\fR, \fB4\fR, \fB5\fR .RS 4 Change the SysV runlevel\&. This is translated into an activation request for runlevel2\&.target, runlevel3\&.target, \&... and is equivalent to \fBsystemctl isolate runlevel2\&.target\fR, \fBsystemctl isolate runlevel3\&.target\fR, \&... .RE .PP \fB1\fR, \fBs\fR, \fBS\fR .RS 4 Change into system rescue mode\&. This is translated into an activation request for rescue\&.target and is equivalent to \fBsystemctl rescue\fR\&. .RE .PP \fBq\fR, \fBQ\fR .RS 4 Reload daemon configuration\&. This is equivalent to \fBsystemctl daemon\-reload\fR\&. .RE .PP \fBu\fR, \fBU\fR .RS 4 Serialize state, reexecute daemon and deserialize state again\&. This is equivalent to \fBsystemctl daemon\-reexec\fR\&. .RE .SH "EXIT STATUS" .PP On success, 0 is returned, a non\-zero failure code otherwise\&. .SH "NOTES" .PP This is a legacy command available for compatibility only\&. It should not be used anymore, as the concept of runlevels is obsolete\&. .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBsystemd\fR(1), \fBsystemctl\fR(1), \fBwall\fR(1)
