Default System Run Level

The Default System Run Level page allows you to change the run level that the system uses when it reboots. The change to the system run level takes effect after the system reboots.

Note the following:

  • Click Change to change the host credentials. You must have SUDOER credentials to complete the Default System Run Level operation. If you do not have SUDOER credentials, this button provides the opportunity to change credentials.

  • Click Cancel to abandon the changes and return to the Host Administration page.

  • Click Save to keep the changes made to the default system run level and return to the Host Administration page.

  • You need to install the YAST toolkit to use the Default System Run Level feature. See Required Installations.

The run levels are not immediately affected and hence the default run level and current run level may be different if the system has not been rebooted.

Note:

The default run level is a powerful tool. You should only change the default system run level if you have sufficient knowledge and experience. Changing the default system run level inappropriately could result in improper system functionality after rebooting.
