# List Services
|
|
|
|
All possible services are in:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls /etc/sv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The computer only uses those in /var/service, so symbolic links are made to start and stop services.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls /var/service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Start Services
|
|
|
|
Enable the sshd service, so that ssh will work every time you boot up:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/sshd /var/service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then start the service:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo sv start sshd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Stop Services
|
|
|
|
Stop `mpd` with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo sv stop mpd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And stop it automatically loading at startup with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo rm /var/service/mpd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also just make a file called 'down':
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo touch /var/service/mpd/down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This means you can start and stop the service without making symbolic links, but mpd will be 'down' when the computer starts.
|
|
|
|
# Making a Service
|
|
|
|
Look in the `/etc/sv` directory, then in the existing services' 'run' files.
|
|
You'll find a simple dash script (therefore Posix compliant).
|
|
|
|
You can write your own, just stick in the shebang `#!/bin/sh`.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, use `#!/bin/bash` as the first line. When Void Linux says `sh`, it means `dash` shell, not `bash`.
|
|
|
|
Confirm the shell you'll use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l $(which sh)
|
|
```
