Run Level
Run Level is a mode of operation in one of the computer. There's six type or mode of operation in Linux. The configuration system allows you to choose one of them at once.
The Options
0 - Halt
1 - Single user
2 - Not used/User definable
3 - Full multi-user, console logins only
4 - Not used/User definable
5 - Full multi-user, with display manager as well as console logins
6 - Reboot
The command
init(space)(number of the options above)
Example, I want to change from GUI to text mode. So I should type on the console/terminal:

You had to be root to do this command.
This way absolutely usefull to fix Linux configuration system, like my post before.
