svc(8)                                 System Manager's Manual                                svc(8)



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

SYNOPSIS
       svc [ -udopchaitkx ] services

DESCRIPTION
       services consists of any number of arguments, each argument naming a directory used by super‐‐
       vise(8).

       svc applies all the options to each service in turn.

OPTIONS
       -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.

       -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 for‐
              ever.
