NAME
telinit - change runlevel
SYNOPSIS
telinit RUNLEVEL
DESCRIPTION
telinit
may be used to change the runlevel of the system.
The
RUNLEVEL
argument should be one of the multi-user runlevels
R 2-5 ,
0
to halt the system,
6
to reboot the system or
1
to bring the system down into single-user mode.
RUNLEVEL
may also be
R S or s
which will place the system directly into single-user mode without actually
stopping processes first, you probably won't want that.
NOTES
This tool is provided for compatibility with the traditional System V
init(8).
Upstart has no notion of runlevels itself, this and the
runlevel(8)
tool are provided to emulate their behaviour.
When invoked it generates a
runlevel
event, with an argument containing the new runlevel.
