🦋 mk-runscript(8) — it's giving service script generator ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the System Manager's Manual section, and it's literally the little helper that makes runit service scripts happen. no cap. it's called mk-runscript and it's about to be your new fave 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

mk-runscript — generate service scripts for runit

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mk-runscript --add|--remove unprivilleged USER

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically: this thing adds or removes a runscript into the directory that the SVDIR environment variable points at. 📁

Wanna see which runscripts are supported? Scroll down, they're listed below. 👇

And here's the tea: these runscripts are too site-specific to be put into a binary package. like, it's literally impossible. they just can't go in there. 💀

Now, about that directory:

  • If SVDIR is not set and the current user is not root, then the ~/.service directory gets used. 🏠
  • If the current user is root, SVDIR defaults to /etc/service. 👑

🧚 unprivileged

This part only makes sense when it's invoked by root, periodt. 👑

It creates a service named unprivileged.USER — and that service controls a runsvdir instance that belongs to the specified USER, and it supervises sevices linked in USER's ~/.service directory. 🎀
