Hi,
Seems CentOS 7 has no longer support run level setting in inittab, where can I change the boot level without X?
Thanks.

Code: Select all
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)
# cat /etc/inittab
# inittab is no longer used when using systemd.
#
# ADDING CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
#
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target
#
# systemd uses 'targets' instead of runlevels. By default, there are two main targets:
#
# multi-user.target: analogous to runlevel 3
# graphical.target: analogous to runlevel 5
#
# To set a default target, run:
#
# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/<target name>.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

Runlevel 3 is now multi-user.target and runlevel 5 is now graphical.target.
systemctl set-default multi-user.target;
systemctl set-default graphical.target;
To switch from graphical to multi-user:
systemctl isolate multi-user.target;
To switch from multi-user to graphical:
systemctl isolate graphical.target;

Reviving an old thread with a follow-up question.
How can I boot into "multi-user.target" from grub? I can't use systemctl if I can't start CentOS.

Appending the digit 3 to the end of the kernel command line still works to bring it up in the systemd equivalent of runlevel 3. You can also use the methods discussed in the upstream documentation
