What does systemd use?

[Trevor]

The SysVinit init system uses runlevels.  You may recall that runlevels
are a feature of the SysVinit system, where each runlevel represents
a specific operating state, and determines which program should start
when a Linux system boots.

The init system that is used on RHEL installations is systemd.  systemd
does NOT use runlevels, as the SysVinit system does.  What does
system use instead of runlevels?

Note:  Intended audience is RHCE level and lower!

Hi there

Systemd uses targets instead of run levels. Each target depends on one or more systemd units to put the system into a required state. Common targets are:

graphical.target

multi-user.target
