RC-UPDATE(8) System Manager's Manual RC-UPDATE(8)NAMErc-update — add and remove services to and from a runlevel
SYNOPSISrc-update [-s, --stack] add service [runlevel ...]
rc-update [-s, --stack] 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 conform to the OpenRC runscript standard.
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 cur‐
rent 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 run‐
level from the runlevel. This allows inheritance of runlevels.
