[runlevel ...] |

[-a, --all]
delete service
[runlevel ...] |
rc-update |
[-u, --update]
[-v, --verbose]
show [runlevel ...] |
DESCRIPTION¶
OpenRC uses named runlevels. Rather than editing some obscure file or managing a
directory of symlinks, rc-update exists to quickly add
or delete services to and from from different runlevels. All services must
reside in the /etc/init.d or
/usr/local/etc/init.d directories. They must also be
standard OpenRC scripts, meaning they must use openrc-run.
- add service
- Add the service to the
runlevel or the current one if none given. Services
added to the boot runlevel must exist in
/etc/init.d.
- delete service
- Delete the service from the
runlevel or the current one if none given.
- show
- Show all enabled services and the runlevels they belong to. If you specify
runlevels to show, then only those will be included in the output.
-v,
--verbose- Show all services.
-u,
--update- Forces an update of the dependency tree cache. This may be needed in the
event of clock skew (a file in /etc is newer than the system clock).
If the -s, --stack
option is given then we either add or remove the runlevel from the runlevel.
This allows inheritance of runlevels.
If the -a, --all
option is given, we remove the service from all runlevels. This is useful,
for example, to clean up the dangling symlinks after a service is
removed.
