RC-UPDATE(8)		    System Manager's Manual		  RC-UPDATE(8)

NAME
     rc-update — add and remove services to and from a runlevel

SYNOPSIS
     rc-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.
