The s6-rc-oneshot-run internal program
s6-rc-oneshot-run executes a oneshot service's up or down script taken from the current live compiled database.
s6-rc-oneshot-run is not meant to be used directly; it is used in internal scripts created by s6-rc-compile, which are invoked during an s6-rc execution.
Interface
s6-rc-oneshot-run [ -l live ] [ -b ] up|down n
- s6-rc-oneshot-run executes into the up or down script of the nth oneshot service defined in the current compiled service database (i.e. the compiled linked from the live directory).
- up or down are run with the RC_NAME environment variable set to the name of the service.
Options
- -l live : use the live directory in live. Default is /run/s6-rc, or what was given to the --livedir configure option at compile time.
- -b : blocking lock. If the service database is currently being used by another program, s6-rc-oneshot-run will wait until that other program has released its lock on the database, then proceed. By default, s6-rc-oneshot-run fails with an error message if the database is currently in use.
Exit codes
- 3: invalid service number
- 4: invalid service database
- 100: wrong usage
- 111: system call failed
- 126: cannot exec script
- 127: cannot exec script: executable not found
- other exit codes: returned from the executed up or down script
