Module Overview

This module gives you the knowledge and skills needed to determine and configure fundamental system hardware, to guide the system through the booting process, to manage the SysVinit runlevel or systemd boot target of the system, to alert users before switching runlevels / boot targets and properly terminate processes. This module includes changing to single user mode, shutdown or rebooting the system, setting the default SysVinit runlevel or systemd boot target, awareness of Upstart as an alternative to SysVinit or systemd.

Lessons

Determine and configure hardware settings
Boot the system
Change runlevels / boot targets and shutdown or reboot system

Lab Sessions
