The exact meaning of this question is unclear. Most Linux systems may be shutdown in a variety of ways from the local console or a remote shell login via SSH or telnet for example.

If logged in as root at a command line interface (CLI), the following commands will likely change the runlevel of most Linux systems.

For a system halt, type "init 0", for a system reboot, type "init 6", for a system halt, you may also type "halt", for a system reboot, you may also type "reboot", to exit multi-user mode and enter single user mode, type "init 1" and to return to multi-user mode, try typing "init 3" and so on...

Invoking the "init" command allows you to change the runlevel 'on the fly' without first executing a full shutdown of the system. If the runlevel is changed from a remote connection however, be advised that your connection will be lost if the network interfaces are shut down as a result of the runlevel change. [JMH]

What does each runlevel in Linux do?

"Run Levels" in Linux are different startup or shutdown settings that can be used at any time to force Linux into a given state using the "init" command. Level 0 forces a total system shutdown. Level 1 switches to "maintanance mode" and only allows the system administrator to log in. This is about the same as Windows "safe mode with command prompt". Levels 2 and 5 can be defined differently, depending on what version of Linux you are using. Typically, one of these is set to start the graphical user interface, another to start only the command line, and so on. The exact results, again, always depends on what version of Linux is used. Level 6 forces the system to reboot. It should be helpful to note that runlevels are not in every Linux system. Systemd-based setups do not have runlevels. The closest they have are "targets," though these are not completely analogous to runlevels.


What is the Linux usages?

The question is unclear. Assuming you are asking usages of linux, well people use it for personal computing. Most of the companies use linux for servers.

Linux has word processing, picture, sound and video edotors as well as their file format converters. It can be used to play many games, play song, watch videos. Linux is available for almost any personal computer available and almost any other computer in use. Most commercial network routers and firewalls are based on linux.
