Changing the Runlevel (inittab, telinit)
By jeltsch on Sat, 05/26/2007 - 14:30Usually you change the default runlevel by editing /etc/inittab. However, sometimes you boot into runlevel 3 (e.g. by selecting safe mode from the grub menu) and then want to change to runlevel 5. This you accomplish on the fly with the command: telinit 5
