     What does "wont work" mean?
     Is the command found?
     What does happen when you call the command?
     Does it produce an error message?

     To change run level, use init or telinit (the latter is a link to
     the former). These commands are in /sbin, which is not in most
     users' PATH, so it must be called explicitly: /sbin/init.

     It may also need to be called by root, rather than a regular user,
     so try it with "sudo /sbin/init".
