Editing Rc-update

==Introduction==
Managing runlevels is usually done through the '''rc-update''' helper, but could of course be done by hand if desired. e.g. ''rc-update add nginx default'' - add nginx to the default runlevel 

All runlevels are represented as folders in ''/etc/runlevels/'' with symlinks to the actual service scripts.<br/>
All services must reside in the '''/etc/[[Init.d|init.d]]''' or '''/usr/[[Local/etc/init.d|local/etc/init.d]]''' directories. They must also conform to the '''OpenRC''' runscript standard.
