svc - controls services monitored by supervise(8).

svc [ -udopchaitkx ] services

services consists of any number of arguments, each argument naming a directory used by supervise (8).

svc applies all the options to each service in turn.

	-u		Up. If the service is not running, start it. If the service stops, restart it.
	-d		Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal and then a CONT signal. After it stops, do not restart it.
	-o		Once. If the service is not running, start it. Do not restart it if it stops.
	-p		Pause. Send the service a STOP signal.
	-c		Continue. Send the service a CONT signal.
	-h		Hangup. Send the service a HUP signal.
	-a		Alarm. Send the service an ALRM signal.
	-i		Interrupt. Send the service an INT signal.
	-t		Terminate. Send the service a TERM signal.
	-k		Kill. Send the service a KILL signal.
	-q		Quit. Send the service a QUIT signal.
	-1		Send the service a USR1 signal.
	-2		Send the service a USR2 signal.
	-x		Exit. supervise (8) will exit as soon as the service is down. If you use this option on a stable system, you’re doing something wrong; supervise (8) is designed to run forever.
