NAME
svc-kill - Send a signal to svscan services.
SYNOPSIS
svc-kill
[
SIGNAL
]
SERVICE
[
SERVICE ...
]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a signal to one or more svscan services, much like the system
command
kill(1),
using the
svc
command. Since
svc
has a limited set of signals that it can send to the service, the set
of signals that
svc-kill
can send is similarly limited.
OPTIONS
- -l
-
List the names of the signals that
svc-kill
accepts and exit.
EXAMPLES
Make qmail reload its locals and virtualdomains files by sending it
SIGHUP:
svc-kill HUP qmail
ENVIRONMENT
- SVSCANDIR
-
If set, this overrides the default of
/service
for the directory into which the services should be linked.
SEE ALSO
kill(1)
CAVEATS
The underlying
svc
program does not exit false when it is unable to send the signal. As
such, the exit code from this program cannot be used to check if the
signal was actually sent.
