This has always confused me, why is there no tlp init script for OpenRC? It's included in Gentoo and Atrix and should be pretty easy to add. Hyperbola devs probably need this too.

Steps to create:

1. cd into /etc/init.d/
2. Create a blank file called "tlp" (e.g. "nano tlp").
3. Paste the following script:
   

   #!/usr/bin/openrc-run
   # Copyright 1999-2015 Gentoo Foundation
   # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
   # $Header: $
   
   description="TLP start/stop actions" 
   
   depend() {
       after modules
   
       # sysfs is required (bat thresholds); localmount:/usr
       need sysfs localmount
   
       # thinkpad-radiosw (USE=deprecated)
       use acpid
   
       after NetworkManager dbus bluetooth
   
       # run after xdm to avoid bluetooth/wwan/... race-condition with gdm
       after xdm
   }
   
   start()   { /usr/bin/tlp init start; }
   stop()    { /usr/bin/tlp init stop; }
   restart() { /usr/bin/tlp init restart; }
   

4. Correct the permissions of the new init script with "chmod 755 tlp"
5. Run this sed command "sed -i -e 's/\r//g' /etc/init.d/tlp" (for some reason OpenRC gives me a permissions error if I don't do this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
6. Now test with "rc-service tlp restart".
