Hello mrbrklyn,
I will have a look into that as soon as I find the time.... I'm actually working mostly with devuan. But my proposed solution just worked fine on Artix - even if I don't know the magic behind it.

Hello mrbrklyn,
the answer is here: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/master/service-script-guide.md
The author even recommends to not write own start stop procedures: Don't write your own start/stop functions

And then, you refer to my older post, which has become obsolete. See my post from 6 month ago where I wrote:

Well, using the new iso (runit-iso, 20180604) I have installed a fresh system, openrc, and tested the new minidlna package.
Fine, it works well, so the issue is solved.
Thanks to all that put effort into it and for the hints.
It looks like the openrc is getting hold in our systemd-free world, ir's a wonderful solution. True to the open spirit.

you might possibly think of installing minidlna AND minidlna-openrc if that exist in the artix repo. I believe it did then...
I work with Devuan now, and it's important to have the lsb-base installed to avoid a lot of trouble when dealing with init files.
But sure, Artix is as wonderful as well.
Good luck

I know this is an old thread, but I would like to clarify something in regards to Devuan openrc.   Back earlier in this thread, Devuan init and LSB is discussed.

 Devuan (actually Debian) has heavily patched openrc for LSB support.  Devuan/Debian does not use openrc service init scripts (/etc/init.d).  They use sysvinit scripts with LSB, which works because of the LSB code modification in the openrc-run process. 

This allows for a minimal implementation of openrc, using the more Debian supported sysvinit;  as opposed to a pure openrc implementation as used by Artix.
