Editing Rc-update

{{welcome}}
{{Navbar OpenRC}}

==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.

''boot'' shows if a service starts at boot.

If you want a service starting at boot write as root: <br/>

<code>rc-update add foo</code> .<br/>

If a service don't have to start at boot write:  <br/>

<code>rc-update delete foo</code>.<br/>

-NAME
+<code>rc-update</code> shows all runlevels and services:
-rc-update – add and remove services to and from a runlevel
-SYNOPSIS
-     rc-update [-s, --stack] add service [runlevel ...]
-     rc-update [-s, --stack] [-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.
