svc(8) System Manager's Manual 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 direc- tory 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 ex- ists. -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 ab- solute path, it is suffixed with the path to s with all slashes ("/") replaced with colons (":").
