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.
