NAME

svsetup - Service setup tool for daemontools

SYNOPSIS

svsetup [ OPTION ]... CMD SERVICE

DESCRIPTION

Service setup tool for daemontools

Do not setup logging with multilog

detected)

	-d		Delete service user on removal
	-D		Delete log user on removal

-h , --help

Display help and exit

-V , --version

Display version and exit

	CMD		Specifies action to perform:
	CREATE		Create new service
	REMOVE		Delete existing service
	ENABLE		Enable service

DISABLE

Disable service

SERVICE

Specifies the service name

NOTE: If you REMOVE a service and specify a service user (with -u ) and/or a log user (with -l ) these users (except root) are removed, too, if you also specify the option -d and/or -D ! This happens without any confirmation requests and the users are deleted even if they were not created by svsetup!

If you create a new service a default run script is created. If there is already a run script in ETCDIR this existing runscript is used instead.
