Since current's arg is not mandatory, changed the "usage" to reflect that.

not quite sure what this does ... could you describe it in a bit more detail so we fully understand what it is you're going for ?

Say you are building a server.
you start all the services you want and everything is ok.
now, instead of manually using "rc-update add" per each services as you would usually do, you just "rc-update current default" and gets this done with.

It scans the runlevel for differences and add/removes the services as needed.
