.SH NAME
rc-update \- add and remove init scripts to a runlevel
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBrc-update\fR \fIadd\fR \fIscript\fR \fI<runlevels>\fR
.br
\fBrc-update\fR \fIdel\fR \fIscript\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
.br
\fBrc-update\fR \fIshow\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Gentoo's init system uses named runlevels.  Rather than editing some obscure 
file or managing a directory of symlinks, \fBrc-update\fR exists to quickly 
add or delete init scripts from different runlevels.

All scripts specified with this utility must reside in the \fI/etc/init.d\fR 
directory.  They must also conform to the Gentoo runscript standard.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fBadd (\-a)\fR \fIscript\fR \fI<runlevels>\fR
Add the specified \fIinit script\fR to the specified \fIrunlevels\fR.  You 
must specify at least one runlevel.

Example: rc-update add net.eth0 default
.TP
\fBdel (\-d)\fR \fIscript\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
Delete the specified \fIinit script\fR from the specified \fIrunlevels\fR.  
If you do not specify the \fIrunlevels\fR from which to delete, the script 
will be removed from all exists runlevels.

Example: rc-update del sysklogd
.TP
\fBshow (\-s)\fR \fI[runlevels]\fR
Show all init scripts and the runlevels they belong to.  If you specify 
\fIrunlevels\fR to show, then only those will be included in the output.

Example: rc-update show
