Rc-status

Welcome to Rc-status.

Introduction

The rc-status helper will print all currently active runlevels and the state of services in them.

All runlevels are represented as folders in /etc/runlevels/ with symlinks to the actual service scripts.
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.

Example for Rc-status

If you run

# rc-status

you will see which services are running:
