LR_CHECK_SERVICE.IN(1)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

🎀 NAME 🎀

lr_check_service — check existence of Lire service. This is LR_CHECK_SERVICE.IN(1) from LogReport's Lire Documentation, bestie 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lr_check_service service

lr_check_service -l

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so lr_check_service checks if the service you pass as service is supported in Lire — meaning there's a DLF converter registered under that name. No cap.

When you call it with the -l option (the list one, duh), lr_check_service lists all the registered DLF converters. Iconic.

Like all Lire scripts, you might want to call this script via lr_run(1), to deal sanely with this scripts' debug- and logging output.

You might prefer the lr_log2report(1) --help options to list available services: this command creates a more human-friendly format of the list. Lowkey the nicer view 👀

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

Call this script in shell scripts as:

        LR_SERVICE="$1"

        LR_SERVICE=`lr_check_service "$LR_SERVICE" || true`
        if test -z "$LR_SERVICE"
        then
           echo >&2 "$tag err lr_check_service failed"
           exit 1
        fi

        # now go using $LR_SERVICE

       .
