svc(8)                                                     svc(8)


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

SYNOPSIS
       svc [ -udopchaitkx ] services

DESCRIPTION
       services  consists  of any number of arguments, each argu-
       ment naming a directory used by supervise(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  ser-
              vice  is  down.  If you use this option on a stable
              system, you're doing something wrong;  supervise(8)
              is designed to run forever.
