telinit

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 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 S or s which will place the system directly into
       single-user mode without actually stopping processes first, you  proba-
       bly 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  run-
       level(8) tool are provided to emulate their behaviour.

       When invoked it generates a runlevel event, with an argument containing
       the new runlevel.
