💖 SVINITD — the svinitd girlies' guide (section 8, system administration utilities, bestie) 💖

okay so you found the svinitd page, in manual section 8, and honestly? iconic. it's an init.d wrapper for daemontools services and it's about to make your init scripts so much cuter. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

svinitd — an init.d wrapper for daemontools services 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

svinitd [OPTION]... SERVICE CMD

so you hand it some OPTIONs, then a SERVICE, then a CMD. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so real talk: svinitd is an init.d wrapper for daemontools services. literally that's its whole job description and it's serving 💁♀️

  • -h, --help — shows you the help and then dips. bye bestie 👋
  • -V, --version — shows you the version and then also dips. slay ✨

this utility is an init.d wrapper, and the way that it works is so clever: you can use this tool to translate init.d commands (like stop, start, restart...) into svc commands 🔥

fr fr, this tool is intended to be used in an init.d script. that's its natural habitat, its main character setting, its whole moment. don't just yeet it anywhere 🫶

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? spill the tea to Klaus Reimer <k@ailis.de> 💌 he wants to know. bugs are not it, so report them.
