Usage

Overview

Service setup tool for daemontools

-u USER

Specify service user name (Default: root)

-l USER

Specify log user name (Default: root)

-n

Do not setup logging with multilog

-e ETCDIR

Specify cfg directory (Default: /etc/sv/SERVICE)

-L LOGDIR

Specify log directory (Default: /var/log/sv/SERVICE)

-s SERVICEDIR

Specify service directory (Default: automatically

detected)

-d

Delete service user on removal

-D

Delete log user on removal

-h, --help

Display help and exit

-V, --version

Display version and exit

NOTE: If you REMOVE a service and specify a service user (with -u) and/or a log user (with -l) these users (except root) are removed, too, if you also specify the option -d and/or -D! This happens without any confirmation requests and the users are deleted even if they were not created by svsetup!

If you create a new service a default run script is created. If there is already a run script in ETCDIR this existing runscript is used instead.
