Having that out of the way: There is this presumably
outdated page you might want to have a look at:

AIUI, OpenRC uses the same RC scripts as does SysV-RC.

However, if _I_ were to tinker with that, I'd first try
it in a virtual machine. The risks to end up with an
unbootable system are IMHO to high to mess with a
"production machine"[1][2]. Plus, VMs are much faster
in rebooting, and much easier to restore to a working
state (think snapshots).

[1] In the broadest sense of the term.

[2] Just because there is by now already a variety of
preliminary Devuan live images (BTW, thanks aitor, fsr,
KatolaZ, et al.!), is not necessarily a sound reason to
test drive them as a recovery option for a botched up
system.
