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.
