svc – Manage daemontools services
Synopsis
- Controls daemontools services on remote hosts using the svc utility.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| downed
boolean
|
|
Should a 'down' file exist or not, if it exists it disables auto startup. Defaults to no. Downed does not imply stopped.
|
| enabled
boolean
|
|
Whether the service is enabled or not, if disabled it also implies stopped. Take note that a service can be enabled and downed (no auto restart).
|
| name
string / required
|
Name of the service to manage.
|
|
| service_dir
string
|
Default:
"/service"
|
Directory svscan watches for services
|
| service_src
string
|
Default:
"/etc/service"
|
Directory where services are defined, the source of symlinks to service_dir.
|
| state
string
|
|
Started/stopped are idempotent actions that will not run commands unless necessary. restarted will always bounce the svc (svc -t) and killed will always bounce the svc (svc -k). reloaded will send a sigusr1 (svc -1). once will run a normally downed svc once (svc -o), not really an idempotent operation.
