From 10a4385e409b48d9aa60590c140d4ca6485a7a72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Hubbs Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:51:12 -0500 Subject: rc: allow switching runlevels without stopping services OpenRC, by default, stops all services that are not listed in a runlevel when rc is used to switch runlevels. This adds a -n/--no-stop command line option to rc which tells it to skip stopping the services which are not in the runlevel.
