I have a service called xboxdrvd that is triggered (and only activated/deactivated) by a udev rule, however always calling rc-status I got that the service was started on "manual" runlevel:
The hotplugged is not for that type of events? I did read the gentoo docs, but there is not so much thing on there.
For OpenRC to display a service as being hotplugged, IN_HOTPLUG=1 must be in the environment when the service is being started, like so:
IN_HOTPLUG=1 /etc/init.d/myservice start Source: I looked at OpenRC’s code to figure this out for a project of mine; this is the relevant line: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/301161a7a4bda27c7ebd54c537dfec0cbc926365/src/rc/openrc-run.c#L610
