NAME

       cpsv - utility to install and manage runit services

SYNOPSIS

       cpsv  [-f] -a <service-name> ...
       cpsv  [-f] --sync
       cpsv  -d <service-name>
       cpsv  --list

DESCRIPTION

       cpsv  is  a  tool  to  install  and  manage  runscripts available in /usr/share/runit/sv/.
       Usually packages install runscripts in /etc/sv/.  However packages that  provide  a  large
       number  of  runscripts  without  the  corresponding  binaries  may  install  services into
       /usr/share/runit/sv/ and let  the  sysadmin  decide  whether  a  service  should  be  also
       available into /etc/sv/

OPTIONS

       -a     Copy  /usr/share/runit/sv/<service> into /etc/sv/ and create supervise symlinks. If
              /etc/sv/<service> already exists and the force flag is not  given,  cpsv  prints  a
              warning, the cp invocation is skipped and the return code is increased by one. More
              than one <service> name can be given and each <service> directory must exists  into
              /usr/share/runit/sv/

       -f     Overwrite  the  service directory /etc/sv/<service> with the stock version provided
              in /usr/share/runit/sv/<service>.  No backup is provided.

       -d     Print a diff  between  /usr/share/runit/sv/<service>  and  /etc/sv/<service>.   The
              directory  /usr/share/runit/sv/<service>  must exists. Cprun return the exit status
              of diff.

       --sync For each <service> available under /usr/share/runit/sv/ cpsv looks for a systemd or
              sysv service file with the same name: if it finds one then it copies <service> into
              /etc/sv/.  If <service> already exists in  /etc/sv/  cpsv  does  not  overwrite  it
              unless the force flag is given.

       --list For each <service> available under /usr/share/runit/sv/ cpsv looks for a systemd or
              sysv service file with the same name: if it finds one then it  prints  a  character
              surronded by square brakets, followed by the name of the service.
              [a]:  <service>  is  available  in /usr/share/runit/sv/ but it doesn't exists under
              /etc/sv/
              [i]: <service> is available in /usr/share/runit/sv/ and an identical copy exists in
              /etc/sv/
              [l]:  <service>  is available in /usr/share/runit/sv/ and an local (different) copy
              exists in /etc/sv/

ENVIRONMENT

       CPSV_DIR
              The environment  variable  $CPSV_DIR overrides the default directory /etc/sv/ where
              services are copied.
