'''Runlevel''' is a Unix/Linux term relating to the operating system's mode of operation. For example, if the operating system operates in text-based or graphical mode, reboot, shutdown, etc. We will be learning to switch to different runlevels in your fedora2 virtual machine. #Switch to your '''fedora2''' VM.#Issue the following Linux command to determine your runlevel:#*<code>runlevel</code><br />The number '''5''' indicates that your fedora2 VM is currently in '''"runlevel 5"''' or '''"graphical mode with networking"'''. {{Admon/note|The runlevel command is now deprecated|Although you can still use the '''runlevel''' command, it is considered obsolete (deprecated)in Fedora, and has been replaced by '''systemctl'''.<br />The newer system called '''systemd''' is a newer method to help simplify controlling both runlevels (referred to as "targets" and system services (referred to as "services").<br />Refer to the tutorial [[init vs systemd]] for systemctl command usages and reference.}}
