CDIST-TYPE__DAEMONTOOLS_SERVICE(7)

💖 cdist-type__daemontools_service(7) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about cdist-type__daemontools_service — yes that's the whole name, section 7, she's long and she's worth it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__daemontools_service — literally just here to create a daemontools-compatible service dir. that's the whole job. and she eats 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what she does is: she creates a directory structure that's compatible with daemontools-like service management. that's the vibe. that's the assignment. no notes. 👑

⚠️ heads up bestie: svc must be present on the target system. like, actually there. if it's not there, this is not gonna go the way you want it to. iykyk 💀

also — and this is the cute part — the object ID gets used as the service name. so like, you name it, she names the service after it. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

🎀 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🎀

None. zero. nothing. she needs literally nothing from you, she's low maintenance like that 🌈

---

🦋 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🦋

• run — the command to run. note that exec-ing and stderr redirection will be added for you (she's thoughtful like that 🥰). you gotta specify one of run, run-file — pick one, bestie, not neither.

Example: my-program

• run-file — the file to save as <servicedir>/run. again: one of run, run-file must be specified. yes, this is the same rule twice, no, i'm not gonna stop saying it, it matters 💅

Example:

#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec my_program

• log-run — the command to run for log consumption. Default: multilog t ./main
• servicedir — the directory to install into. Default: /service

---

💜 BOOLEAN PARAMETERS 💜

None. nope. nada. not a single one 🎀

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the girlies love a real example:

require="__daemontools" __daemontools_service prometheus --run "setuidgid prometheus $GOBIN/prometheus $FLAGS"

ate. no crumbs. 🔥
