init daemon

What run-level command will have the same affect of switching the system to multi-user mode with a graphical user as * systemctl isolate graphical.target*

interface:systemctl isolate runlevel 5.target

What systemd runlevel-like name (similar to initd) is equivalent to system runlevel2, runlevel3.target, runlevel4.target

multi-user.target

What target configures the system to run in multi-user mode with a text-based user interface. This target is commonly used as the default mode for server systems.

multi-user.target

What systemd runlevel-like name (similar to initd) is equivalent to system poweroff.target.

runlevel0.target

What command is used to manage boot targets.

systemctl

What command displays the current boot target.

systemctl get-default

systemctl set-default boot_target
