systemctl-default
Enter default system target
TLDR
Enter default mode
SYNOPSIS
systemctl default [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
systemctl default transitions the system to the default target, typically `graphical.target` or `multi-user.target` depending on system configuration. This is equivalent to `systemctl isolate default.target`.
This command is useful for returning a system to normal operation after being in rescue or emergency mode.
PARAMETERS
--no-block
Return immediately without waiting for the operation to complete
CAVEATS
The default target is determined by the symlink at `/etc/systemd/system/default.target`. Switching targets may stop services that are not required by the new target.
HISTORY
The default subcommand provides a convenient way to return to normal system operation without needing to know the specific default target name.
