NAME

rc-update - add and remove init scripts to a runlevel

SYNOPSIS

rc-update add script <runlevels>
rc-update del script [runlevels]
rc-update show [runlevels]

DESCRIPTION

Gentoo's init system uses named runlevels. Rather than editing some obscure file or managing a directory of symlinks, rc-update exists to quickly add or delete init scripts from different runlevels.

All scripts specified with this utility must reside in the /etc/init.d directory. They must also conform to the Gentoo runscript standard.

OPTIONS

add (-a) script <runlevels>: Add the specified init script to the specified runlevels. You must specify at least one runlevel.
Example: rc-update add net.eth0 default
del (-d) script [runlevels]: Delete the specified init script from the specified runlevels. If you do not specify the runlevels from which to delete, the script will be removed from all exists runlevels.
Example: rc-update del sysklogd
show (-s) [runlevels]: Show all init scripts and the runlevels they belong to. If you specify runlevels to show, then only those will be included in the output.
Example: rc-update show
