SYNOPSIStelinit [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}
DESCRIPTIONtelinit 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concept of SysV runlevels is obsolete the runlevel requests will be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.

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

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.

not be used anymore, as the concept of runlevels is obsolete.
