Default:
"/var/service"

started/stopped are idempotent actions that will not run commands unless necessary. restarted will always bounce the service (sv restart) and killed will always bounce the service (sv force-stop). reloaded will send a HUP (sv reload). once will run a normally downed sv once (sv once), not really an idempotent operation.
