shh-service β the shh-service(1) glow-up π
okay so you opened the shh-service(1) page from the General Commands Manual and you're like "bestie what is this" β don't worry, I got you. This is the little command that lets you act on a systemd service unit. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
shh service [-h|--help] <subcommands>
literally just type shh service, throw in -h or --help if you're feeling curious, and hand it one of the <subcommands> below. periodt. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Act on a systemd service unit. π«Ά
That's the official word, and no cap, that's exactly what it does β it's your li'l main character entry point for poking at a service unit through the shh toolbox.
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
-h,--helpβ Print help. The classic. Ask and it shall tell you things. π
π SUBCOMMANDS π
These are three separate little icons, each with their own manual page. Go read them when you need the full tea. π
shh-service-start-profile(1)β Add fragment config to service to profile its behavior. iykyk β you're basically adding a lil fragment config so you can watch how the service behaves. πshh-service-finish-profile(1)β Get profiling result and remove fragment config from service. Grab the profiling result, then clean that fragment config back off the service. No leftovers, no mess. π§shh-service-reset(1)β Remove profiling and/or hardening config fragments, and restart service to restore its initial state. The big undo button: strips the profiling and/or hardening config fragments and restarts the service so it's back to its initial state. Chef's kiss reset. π₯
β οΈ ngl, reset actually restarts your service β that's the whole point, it's how the initial state comes back. So don't run it on something precious at a bad moment, bestie. π
