svc(8)

NAME
svc - controls services monitored by supervise(8).

SYNOPSIS
svc [ -+=Ll12udopchaitkwxq ] services

DESCRIPTION
services consists of any number of arguments, each argument naming a directory used by supervise(8). svc applies all the options to each service in turn.

OPTIONS

-=  Send all subsequent signals to the parent process instead of its process group. This is the default.

-+  Send all subsequent signals to the entire process group instead of just the parent process.

-L  Send all subsequent signals to the running log process, if it exists.

-l  (default) Send all subsequent signals to the main process. This may be useful for controlling both a log and main process in one shot or avoiding race conditions after using -L.

-u  Up. If the service is not running, start it. If the service stops, restart it.

-d  Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal and then a CONT signal. After it stops, do not restart it.

-o  Once. If the service is not running, start it. Do not restart it if it stops.

-p  Pause. Send the service a STOP signal.

-c  Continue. Send the service a CONT signal.

-h  Hangup. Send the service a HUP signal.

-a  Alarm. Send the service an ALRM signal.

-i  Interrupt. Send the service an INT signal.

-t  Terminate. Send the service a TERM signal.

-k  Kill. Send the service a KILL signal.

-q  Quit. Send the service a QUIT signal.

-1  User 1. Send the service a USR1 signal.

-2  User 2. Send the service a USR2 signal.

-w  Window resize. Send the service a WINCH signal.

-x  Exit. supervise(8) will exit as soon as the service is down. If you use this option on a stable system, you're doing something wrong; supervise(8) is designed to run forever.

ENVIRONMENT

SUPERVISEDIR
    If set, the named directory is used instead of supervise for the status information and control files. If $SUPERVISEDIR is an absolute path, it is suffixed with the path to s with all slashes ("/") replaced with colons (":").
