The s6-rc-set-new program

s6-rc-set-new creates new sets in a repository.

Interface

     s6-rc-set-new [ -v verbosity ] [ -r repo ] setname...

• For every argument in setname..., s6-rc-set-new creates a set with that name, in the repository repo. Under that set name, it attributes a default rx to every service listed in the stores:
  • Services with the essential flag are added to the always rx
  • Services with the recommended flag are added to the active rx
  • Others are added to the usable rx.
• It exits 0.

Options

-v verbosity, --verbosity=verbosity

Be more or less verbose. The default is 1, which means that error messages and warnings will be written to stderr. 0 means that only error messages will be written, and 2 or more adds informational messages.

-r repo, --repository=repo

Use the repository in repo, which must exist. Default is /var/lib/s6-rc/repository.

Exit codes

0

Success.

100

Incorrect usage.

111

System call failed.

Notes

• s6-rc-set-new can be called at the user's convenience, but in a typical installation, two sets are enough: a stable committed set and a working set.
