Description Eldad Zack (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-12 12:52:05 UTC
This patch adds a feature to rc-update that syncs a runlevel with current running services.

useful for creating runlevels on the fly and in first-time installation.

rc-update-current.patch

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 ?
Comment 6 Eldad Zack (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-28 10:20:32 UTC
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.
