Systemd Vs SysVinit

This document compares commands for managing services and runlevels between Systemd and SysVinit. It shows that Systemd uses the systemctl command for starting, stopping, restarting, reloading, checking status of services, and enabling or disabling services at startup. Systemd uses target units like multi-user.target instead of runlevels. It also introduces some new Systemd-specific commands for tasks like checking boot time, getting logs, and viewing host/time information.
