NAME

svmod — helper to control user access to runsv services

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

runsv(8) allows for setting fine-grained permissions on its control pipe, to give users the ability to control a service. svmod is a small helper that you can use in your service files that simplifies setting the right permissions.

EXAMPLES

Give kate the ability to control her own runsvdir-user@kate service. In /usr/local/etc/sv/local/runsvdir-user@kate/run or /usr/local/etc/sv/local/runsvdir-user@kate/conf add:

svmod kate .

kate can now control (start, restart, take down, etc.) and check the service's state with sv(8).

To give joe the ability to control the sndiod service and its attached logging service, add

svmod joe . ./log

to /usr/local/etc/sv/sndiod/conf.
