.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
provides a consistent method of starting, stopping and restarting
|
||
|
daemons. If
|
||
|
.Fl K , -stop
|
||
|
is not provided, then we assume we are starting the daemon.
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
only works with daemons which do not fork. Also, it uses its own pid
|
||
|
file, so the daemon should not write a pid file, or the pid file passed
|
||
|
to
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
should not be the one the daemon writes.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Here are the options to specify the daemon and how it should start or stop:
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||
|
.It Fl p , -pidfile Ar pidfile
|
||
|
When starting, we write a
|
||
|
.Ar pidfile
|
||
|
so we know which supervisor to stop. When stopping we only stop the pid(s)
|
||
|
listed in the
|
||
|
.Ar pidfile .
|
||
|
.It Fl u , -user Ar user Ns Op : Ns Ar group
|
||
|
Start the daemon as the
|
||
|
.Ar user
|
||
|
and update $HOME accordingly or stop daemons
|
||
|
owned by the user. You can optionally append a
|
||
|
.Ar group
|
||
|
name here also.
|
||
|
.It Fl v , -verbose
|
||
|
Print the action(s) that are taken just before doing them.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The options are as follows:
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||
|
.It Fl d , -chdir Ar path
|
||
|
chdir to this directory before starting the daemon.
|
||
|
.It Fl e , -env Ar VAR=VALUE
|
||
|
Set the environment variable VAR to VALUE.
|
||
|
.It Fl g , -group Ar group
|
||
|
Start the daemon as in the group.
|
||
|
.It Fl I , -ionice Ar class Ns Op : Ns Ar data
|
||
|
Modifies the IO scheduling priority of the daemon.
|
||
|
Class can be 0 for none, 1 for real time, 2 for best effort and 3 for idle.
|
||
|
Data can be from 0 to 7 inclusive.
|
||
|
.It Fl k , -umask Ar mode
|
||
|
Set the umask of the daemon.
|
||
|
.It Fl N , -nicelevel Ar level
|
||
|
Modifies the scheduling priority of the daemon.
|
||
|
.It Fl r , -chroot Ar path
|
||
|
chroot to this directory before starting the daemon. All other paths, such
|
||
|
as the path to the daemon, chdir and pidfile, should be relative to the chroot.
|
||
|
.It Fl u , -user Ar user
|
||
|
Start the daemon as the specified user.
|
||
|
.It Fl 1 , -stdout Ar logfile
|
||
|
Redirect the standard output of the process to logfile.
|
||
|
Must be an absolute pathname, but relative to the path optionally given with
|
||
|
.Fl r , -chroot .
|
||
|
The logfile can also be a named pipe.
|
||
|
.It Fl 2 , -stderr Ar logfile
|
||
|
The same thing as
|
||
|
.Fl 1 , -stdout
|
||
|
but with the standard error output.
|
||
|
.El

||
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|

|
.Va SSD_NICELEVEL
|
||
|
can also set the scheduling priority of the daemon, but the command line
|
||
|
option takes precedence.
|
||
|
.Sh NOTE
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
uses
|
||
|
.Xr getopt 3
|
||
|
to parse its options, which allows it to accept the `--' option which will
|
||
|
cause it to stop processing options at that point. Any subsequent arguments
|
||
|
are passed as arguments to the daemon to start and used when finding a daemon
|
||
|
to stop or signal.

|

|
.Nm
|

|
cannot stop an interpreted daemon that no longer exists without a pidfile.

This is a complete re-implementation with the process finding code in the
|
||
|
OpenRC library (librc, -lrc) so other programs can make use of it.
