S6-SVDT-CLEAR(8)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay bestie, welcome to s6-svdt-clear(8) from the System Manager's Manual — its whole NAME-card moment is literally s6-svdt-clear — clear the recorded death tally of a service. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The command is one line, no cap:

s6-svdt-clear servicedir

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture it: s6-svdt-clear clears the recorded death tally of the service that is currently being supervised at the servicedir s6-service-directory(7). That's it. That's the assignment. 🫶

Using s6-svdt-clear impacts the listings obtained by the s6-svdt(8) command. It also impacts the behaviour of the s6-permafailon(8) command. This is the main reason to use s6-svdt-clear: once a service has failed permanently due to an excessive number of deaths in a given time, it can be useful to erase that record of deaths before starting the service again, in order to avoid permanently failing again too fast. 😭🔥

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

Vibe check on exit codes, bestie:

• 0 — Success. slay, a clean exit 💖
• 100 — Wrong usage. not the move 🙈
• 111 — System call failed. the system call said nope 💀
