        I assume it is intended that I run that script to effectively
        change to inittab "3"?

        I copy/pasted the script into a file and did"

        [root at box6 bobg]# /home/bobg/apps/reviedinittab

          Setting RUNLEVEL to

        /home/bobg/apps/reviedinittab: line 13: [: =: unary operator
        expected
        ln: failed to create symbolic link `./multi-user.target': File
        exists
        /home/bobg/apps/reviedinittab: line 22:
        /etc/systemd/system/default.target: No such file or directory
            Default target set to multi-user.

        It wanted to be run as root. I still boot into the graphic
        screen. This script appears to be doing what I did manually
        which did not work either.

        It doesn't seem that it would be related to XFCE does it?

        Once again this is making a major problem of what has always
        been a routine configuration change.
