Yep. I left my quotes in from the message you replied to.

Note that runlevels are now obsolete, so telinit commands are
being translated into systemd (as shown above) and will probably only
be available temporarily during whatever segment of time the devs
decide is a good transition period, which was why I amended my
suggestion with the current (rather than the obsolete ones above)
commands in the message I sent right after that one.
