runsvdir(8)


NAME

   runsvdir - starts and monitors a collection of runsv(8) processes

SYNOPSIS

   runsvdir [-P] dir [ log ]

DESCRIPTION

   dir  must  be  a  directory.  log is a space holder for a readproctitle
   log, and must be at least seven characters long or absent.

   runsvdir starts a runsv(8) process for each subdirectory, or symlink to
   a  directory,  in  the  services  directory  dir, up to a limit of 1000
   subdirectories, and restarts  a  runsv(8)  process  if  it  terminates.
   runsvdir skips subdirectory names starting with dots.  runsv(8) must be
   in runsvdir's PATH.

   At least every five seconds runsvdir checks whether the  time  of  last
   modification,  the  inode, or the device, of the services directory dir
   has changed.  If so, it re-scans the service directory, and if it  sees
   a  new subdirectory, or new symlink to a directory, in dir, it starts a
   new runsv(8) process; if runsvdir sees  a  subdirectory  being  removed
   that  was previously there, it sends the corresponding runsv(8) process
   a TERM signal, stops monitoring this process, and so does  not  restart
   the runsv(8) process if it exits.

   If  the log argument is given to runsvdir, all output to standard error
   is redirected to  this  log,  which  is  similar  to  the  daemontools'
   readproctitle  log.   To  see  the  most  recent  error messages, use a
   process-listing tool such as ps(1).   runsvdir  writes  a  dot  to  the
   readproctitle log every 15 minutes so that old error messages expire.

OPTIONS

   -P     use  setsid(2) to run each runsv(8) process in a new session and
          separate process group.

SIGNALS

   If runsvdir receives a TERM signal, it exits with 0 immediately.

   If runsvdir receives a HUP signal, it  sends  a  TERM  signal  to  each
   runsv(8) process it is monitoring and then exits with 111.
