NAME

svc-add - Add a svscan service.  

SYNOPSIS

svc-add [ -d ] DIRECTORY [ SERVICE ]  

DESCRIPTION

svc-add adds a named service to the /service directory by creating a symbolic link there to the service directory. The service directory defaults to /var/service/DIRECTORY if DIRECTORY contains no slashes. The service name that is created in /service defaults to everything following the last slash (if any) in DIRECTORY, but may be overridden by the SERVICE parameter.  

OPTIONS

-d
Mark the service as being down initially so that svscan won't start it automatically.
 

EXAMPLES

Add the /var/service/foo service:

svc-add foo Add the dnscache service from /etc/dnscache without starting it:

svc-add -d /etc/dnscache Add the tinydns service from /etc/tinydns and name it dnsd

svc-add /etc/tinydns dnsd  

ENVIRONMENT

SVCLOCKDIR
If set, this overrides the default of /var/service for the default service directory base path.
SVSCANDIR
If set, this overrides the default of /service for the directory into which the services should be linked.
 

NOTES

This script does not activate the service. However, unless the service has been marked down, it will be started by svscan.
