dinit
install connman and optionally a front-end:

 pacman -S connman-dinit connman-gtk
 ln -s ../connmand /etc/dinit.d/boot.d/

 ln -s ../connmand /etc/dinit.d/boot.d/ < what is the expected service dir here?

That is a literal command. It will create a link called "connmand" in /etc/dinit.d/boot.d, which makes the connmand service a dependency of the "boot" service.

true. it just looks inconsistent with the rest of the examples in this documentation.

I guess it could read:

 ln -s /etc/dinit.d/connmand /etc/dinit.d/boot.d/

But technically what's written is correct as the command tries to create a link in /etc/dinit.d/boot.d/ and it looks for the file it's linking (connmand) one directory up from where it's putting the link (which is what the "../" does) I didn't realize ln behaves this way.  You'd think by putting ../connmand that ln would look one directory up from wherever you are executing the command but I guess that's not the case.
