The `s6-frontend-alias` program

- -

-s6-frontend-alias is a multicall binary that implements -functionality from the -daemontools package, -and/or from the -runit package, whenever -possible, via -s6 commands. -

- -

Interface

- -

-     s6-frontend-alias [ -v ] daemontools_command args...
-     s6-frontend-alias [ -v ] runit_command args...
-     daemontools_command args...
-     runit_command args...
-

- -

-s6-frontend-alias can be called as is: then it takes the command -name as its argument. Or, it can be called directly as the wanted command. -It finds the closest approximation of the command in the s6 world, and -executes into it. When it cannot find a suitable idiomatic s6 version of -the wanted command, it prints an explanatory message to stderr, then -exits 100. -

- -

-s6-frontend-alias is only built when at least one of the ---enable-alias-daemontools and --enable-alias-runit -options have been given to configure at build time. -

- -

-When the --enable-alias-daemontools option has been given, -the following commands are created at installation time as symbolic -links to s6-frontend-alias, which recognizes them: -

- -

envdir
envuidgid
fghack
multilog
pgrphack
readproctitle
setlock
setuidgid
softlimit
supervise
svc
svok
svscan
svscanboot
svstat
tai64n
tai64nlocal

- -

-When the --enable-alias-runit option has been given, -the following commands are created at installation time as symbolic -links to s6-frontend-alias, which recognizes them: -

- -

runit
runit-init
runsvdir
runsvchdir
runsv
svlogd
utmpset

- -

-(The chpst and sv runit commands are recognized -by s6-frontend-alias, but handled by specific programs, -s6-frontend-alias-chpst and -s6-frontend-alias-sv, and the -chpst and sv symbolic links point directly to those -programs.) -

- -

Options

- -

-v : verbose. When s6-frontend-alias -is called under its own name and this option is given, it prints -an explanatory message to stderr before executing into the -corresponding idiomatic s6 command.

- -

Notes

- -

s6-frontend-alias is a convenience program, written -so that daemontools and runit users can keep using their habits while -transitioning to s6. However, it is not an "official" interface, -because s6 is strictly more powerful than daemontools, and has a few -significant fundamental differences with runit. Daemontools and runit -users are still encouraged to learn and get used to the native -s6 commands.
