Every sysvinit system does this stuff differently, and Mint doesn't use OpenRC (only a few distros do - mostly Gentoo-derived, though there was some debate about Debian adopting it (which I consider unlikely at this point)). You're likely to get much further on a discussion forum dedicated to your particular distro than a general forum for an issue like this as a result. Most of the older sysvinit systems have an entry in inittab that launches a commend (often called rc or something similar) which launches all the services. That is often a shell script, and it would be that command which would need to set your environment variables to affect a service. Sometimes this command will source configuration files.
