  • Yes, I believe that you are understanding this correctly. I will be a late adopter of SystemD, as the procedural, step-step-step, INIT.D system is what I am most familiar with... I applaud that you are exploring SystemD. The best part of SystemD is its parallel multi-threading, which enables faster boot. Multi-Threading boot can be accomplished with INIT.D, but requires strong BASH scripting. Commented Oct 2, 2014 at 16:03
  • BTW, ls -ll is equivalent to ls -l.  You might want to get into the habit of using ls -ld. Commented May 14, 2017 at 5:53
  • telinit 0 / telinit 6 still work. Since this helps with migration, and I think most distros still don't see a reason to drop the support yet. isolate clearly aspired to mimic how run-levels work, but there are various evil edge cases. I highly recommend ignoring all instructions to isolate runlevel5.target or even isolate graphical.target. Example edge case: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6505 Commented Aug 19, 2018 at 14:30
