Systemd was introduced as a replacement for init - due to certain shortcomings like it's startup times and offer an improved API and lower memory footprint (I am not going to get into a pro's and con's argument - there are plenty of resources online that do this very well.)
Popular Linux distributions like Debian (8), Fedora and CentOS (7) have now adopted systemd as default.
The run-level concept (although now called 'targets' ) still applies and you are able to view the configuration for each level by running something like:
ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel*
Although these files are actually symbolic links pointing to the newly formatted names:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel0.target -> poweroff.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel1.target -> rescue.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel2.target -> multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target -> multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel4.target -> multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target -> graphical.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Mar 8 15:13 /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel6.target -> reboot.target
You can switch to another runlevel (target) with something like:
systemctl isolate runlevel7.target
and to get your current runlevel (target):
systemctl list-units --type target
and to change your default runlevel (target):
systemctl set-default graphical.target
We can get an overview of all of our services by issuing:
sudo systemctl
or check the status of a service with:
sudo systemctl status sshd
