Hi,
Do services started in the "boot" runlevel continue to run in the
"default" runlevel?
Or do they get stopped as part of transitioning from the "boot"
runlevel to the "default" runlevel? (Or any other runlevel that
doesn't include the service.
I'm wondering about having two things that are very similar (as in
use the same ports), but distinctly different (different
configurations) with the following:
myService-boot | boot
myService-default | default
Will myService-boot start and run during boot, then stop when the
system goes into the default runlevel?
My expectation is that OpenRC will (try to) start myService-default
when the system enters the default runlevel. But it will fail if
myService-boot is still running.
That is my expectation. I don't see any automatic stopping of
services. Even the services in the shutdown runlevel get started -
even though their starting is actually stopping other stuff.
Do an rc-status (you might need to explicitly do "rc-status boot") and
see all the boot runlevel services are still running (unless you
explicitly stopped them.) Can you explicitly set up myService-default
to explicitly check if myService-boot is running, and if so, stop it
before starting itself?
