πŸ’… shh-service β€” the shh-service(1) glow-up πŸŽ€

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. ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Act on a systemd service unit. 🫢

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.


✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help β€” Print help. The classic. Ask and it shall tell you things. πŸ’–

πŸ‘‘ SUBCOMMANDS πŸ‘‘

These are three separate little icons, each with their own manual page. Go read them when you need the full tea. πŸ“

  • 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. πŸ‘€
  • shh-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. 🧚
  • 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. πŸ”₯
⚠️ 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. 😭
