Set runlevel
Systemd has replaced sysVinit as the default service manager in RHEL 7/8/9.
Some of the sysVinit commands have been symlinked to their RHEL 7/8/9 counterparts, however this will eventually be deprecated in favor of the standard systemd commands in the future.
SysVinit to systemd conversions
