Understanding Unix Run Levels in Linux by MohammedNasser is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A run level is an operating state on Unix-like systems that determines what system services are running and available. There are 7 standard run levels numbered 0-6 that configure the system for different purposes like halting, single-user mode, multi-user command line, graphical user interface, and rebooting. The default run levels for Linux are 3 for servers without a GUI and 5 for desktop systems with a GUI. The telinit command or modifying the /etc/inittab file can change the run level to solve problems
