<h2><a name='sect0'>Name</a></h2>
runsv - starts and monitors a service and optionally an appendant log
service
<h2><a name='sect1'>Synopsis</a></h2>
<b>runsv</b> <i>service</i>
<h2><a name='sect2'>Description</a></h2>
<i>service</i> must be a directory. <p>
<b>runsv</b>
switches to the directory <i>service</i> and starts ./run. If ./run exits and ./finish
exists, <b>runsv</b> starts ./finish. If ./finish doesn&rsquo;t exist or ./finish exits,
<b>runsv</b> restarts ./run. <p>
If ./run or ./finish exit immediately, <b>runsv</b> waits a
second before starting ./finish or restarting ./run. <p>
Two arguments are given
to ./finish. The first one is ./run&rsquo;s exit code, or -1 if ./run didn&rsquo;t exit normally.
The second one is the least significant byte of the exit status as determined
by <i><b>waitpid</b>(2)</i>; for instance it is 0 if ./run exited normally, and the signal
number if ./run was terminated by a signal. If <b>runsv</b> cannot start ./run for
some reason, the exit code is 111 and the status is 0. <p>
If the file <i>service</i>/down
exists, <b>runsv</b> does not start ./run immediately. The control interface (see
below) can be used to start the service and to give other commands to <b>runsv</b>.
<p>
If the directory <i>service</i>/log exists, <b>runsv</b> creates a pipe, redirects <i>service</i>/run&rsquo;s
and <i>service</i>/finish&rsquo;s standard output to the pipe, switches to the directory
<i>service</i>/log and starts ./run (and ./finish) exactly as described above for
the <i>service</i> directory. The standard input of the log service is redirected
to read from the pipe. <p>
<b>runsv</b> maintains status information in a binary format
(compatible to the daemontools&rsquo; <b>supervise</b> program) in <i>service</i>/supervise/status
and <i>service</i>/log/supervise/status, and in a human-readable format in <i>service</i>/supervise/stat,
<i>service</i>/log/supervise/stat, <i>service</i>/supervise/pid, <i>service</i>/log/supervise/pid.
<h2><a name='sect3'>Control</a></h2>
The named pipes <i>service</i>/supervise/control, and (optionally) <i>service</i>/log/supervise/control
are provided to give commands to <b>runsv</b>. You can use <i><b>sv</b>(8)</i> to control the
service or just write one of the following characters to the named pipe:
<dl>
<dt><b>u</b> </dt>
<dd>Up. If the service is not running, start it. If the service stops, restart
it. </dd>
<dt><b>d</b> </dt>
<dd>Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal, and then a
CONT signal. If ./run exits, start ./finish if it exists. After it stops, do
not restart service. </dd>
<dt><b>o</b> </dt>
<dd>Once. If the service is not running, start it. Do not
restart it if it stops. </dd>
<dt><b>p</b> </dt>
<dd>Pause. If the service is running, send it a STOP
signal. </dd>
<dt><b>c</b> </dt>
<dd>Continue. If the service is running, send it a CONT signal. </dd>
<dt><b>h</b> </dt>
<dd>Hangup.
If the service is running, send it a HUP signal. </dd>
<dt><b>a</b> </dt>
<dd>Alarm. If the service
is running, send it a ALRM signal. </dd>
<dt><b>i</b> </dt>
<dd>Interrupt. If the service is running,
send it a INT signal. </dd>
<dt><b>q</b> </dt>
<dd>Quit. If the service is running, send it a QUIT signal. </dd>
<dt><b>1</b> </dt>
<dd>User-defined 1. If the service is running, send it a USR1 signal. </dd>
<dt><b>2</b> </dt>
<dd>User-defined 2. If the service is running, send it a USR2 signal. </dd>
<dt><b>t</b> </dt>
<dd>Terminate. If the service
is running, send it a TERM signal. </dd>
<dt><b>k</b> </dt>
<dd>Kill. If the service is running, send
it a KILL signal. </dd>
<dt><b>x</b> </dt>
<dd>Exit. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal,
and then a CONT signal. Do not restart the service. If the service is down,
and no log service exists, <b>runsv</b> exits. If the service is down and a log
service exists, <b>runsv</b> closes the standard input of the log service, and
waits for it to terminate. If the log service is down, <b>runsv</b> exits. This
command is ignored if it is given to <i>service</i>/log/supervise/control. </dd>
</dl>
<p>
Example:
to send a TERM signal to the socklog-unix service, either do # sv term
/service/socklog-unix<br>
or<br>
# printf t &gt;/service/socklog-unix/supervise/control<br>
<p>
<i><b>printf</b>(1)</i> usually blocks if no <b>runsv</b> process is running in the service
directory.
<h2><a name='sect4'>Customize Control</a></h2>
For each control character <i>c</i> sent to the control
pipe, <b>runsv</b> first checks if <i>service</i>/control/<i>c</i> exists and is executable.
If so, it starts <i>service</i>/control/<i>c</i> and waits for it to terminate, before
interpreting the command. If the program exits with return code 0, <b>runsv</b>
refrains from sending the service the corresponding signal. The command
<i>o</i> is always considered as command <i>u</i>. On command <i>d</i> first <i>service</i>/control/<i>t</i>
is checked, and then <i>service</i>/control/<i>d</i>. On command <i>x</i> first <i>service</i>/control/<i>t</i>
is checked, and then <i>service</i>/control/<i>x</i>. The control of the optional log
service cannot be customized.
<h2><a name='sect5'>Signals</a></h2>
If <b>runsv</b> receives a TERM signal, it
acts as if the character x was written to the control pipe.
<h2><a name='sect6'>Exit Codes</a></h2>
<b>runsv</b>
exits 111 on an error on startup or if another <b>runsv</b> is running in <i>service</i>.
<p>
<b>runsv</b> exits 0 if it was told to exit.
