As I've pointed out in my previous messages, I know you can, but
since runlevels are obsolete, it's probably not a good idea to use
telinit after all and would be better to learn the current Systemd
commands for use in Systemd. The commands I recommended above
don't need to be translated the way the obsolete telinit commands do,
so they're more future-proof.

Okay.
