S6-SVOK(8)

📦 version 2.15.1.0, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ S6-SVOK ✨

okay so real talk bestie, this is the s6-svok page from the System Manager's Manual, section 8, and it's literally the shortest little icon in the s6 family but it does exactly one thing and does it slay 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

s6-svok — check whether an s6-service-directory(7) is currently supervised 🕵️‍♀️

like, is anybody home? is someone actually watching this service directory? that's the whole entire vibe check.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

s6-svok servicedir

one command, one argument, no drama. periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — s6-svok checks whether an s6-supervise(8) process is currently monitoring servicedir.

that's it. that's the whole function. she's a one-job queen 👑

and then she tells you the answer through her exit status:

  • exits 0 — yup, there's an s6-supervise(8) process monitoring it, someone's on duty, we're so back 💖
  • exits 1 — nope, nobody's monitoring it, it's giving abandoned, it's giving unsupervised 😭
fr fr, that's the entire contract — don't go looking for extra output or flags, there aren't any. she exits and she's done. iconic behaviour honestly 🫶
