the concept of runlevels is obsolete.
So, what complicated mechanism will or have the the systemd people come up with to replace the simplicity of S or 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 on cmdline to override the default runl^H^H^H^Htarget? :-p
Well lets see, how simple are S, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6? They actually hide a whole pile of shell scripting. You've traded simplicity of expression for (a) obscurity of meaning and (b) the need to be a programmer to make any adjustments
What does the systemd approach offer instead?
Well for a start there's clarity of meaning that is absent from the sysvinit method:
We've got
multi-user.target or graphical.target
Oh, so one need only type (at the cli): multi-user.target to get the equivalent of init 3 or (again at the cli) graphical.target to get the same as init 5. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
