Yes, here’s the reason.
With systemd 258~rc1-1, support for user command for runlevel and runlevel targets (init 0 to init 6) has been removed.
The change is not user-friendly from systemd and is also irrelevant in terms of the code saved.
I now use a script called “onoff” in the /usr/sbin directory to replace the long systemd command.
#!/usr/bin/bash
#
# Name: /usr/sbin/onoff
#
# This script makes the functionality removed by systemd 258~rc1-1,
# init 0 to init 6, available again to the user in a running system.

echo "Error: >${1}< is not a valid option" && exit 1

esac
exit 0
After that, you can use the command
onoff 6 to reboot, or onoff [2-5] to switch to another target, or onoff 0 to shutdown.
