NAME

       svsetup - Service setup tool for daemontools

SYNOPSIS

       svsetup [OPTION]... CMD SERVICE

DESCRIPTION

       Service setup tool for daemontools

       -u USER
              Specify service user name (Default: root)

       -l USER
              Specify log user name (Default: root)

       -n     Do not setup logging with multilog

       -e ETCDIR
              Specify cfg directory (Default: /etc/SERVICE)

       -L LOGDIR
              Specify log directory (Default: /var/log/SERVICE)

       -s SERVICEDIR
              Specify service directory (Default: automatically

              detected)

       -d     Delete service user on removal

       -D     Delete log user on removal

       -h, --help
              Display help and exit

       -V, --version
              Display version and exit

       CMD    Specifies action to perform:

       CREATE Create new service

       REMOVE Delete existing service

       ENABLE Enable service

       DISABLE
              Disable service

       SERVICE
              Specifies the service name

       NOTE:  If  you  REMOVE  a  service and specify a service user (with -u)
       and/or a log user (with -l) these users (except root) are removed, too,
       if  you  also specify the option -d and/or -D! This happens without any
       confirmation requests and the users are deleted even if they  were  not
       created by svsetup!

       If  you  create a new service a default run script is created. If there
       is already a run script in  ETCDIR  this  existing  runscript  is  used
       instead.
