ds
is a wrapper for some Unix daemon control facilities. It provides a short and concise
interface to launchctl(1)
(OS X), init(8)
and upstart(7)
(standard Linux and Debian-based
distros).
ds start (name)
ds stop (name)
ds restart (name)
ds info
ds info (name)
ds enabled
ds disabled
Examples:
$ ds start mysql # starts the service
* Starting MySQL. [OK]
$ ds stop mysql # stops the service
* Stopping MySQL. [OK]
$ ds restart postgresql # restarts the service
* Restarting PostgreSQL. [OK]
$ ds info # returns status information for all the services
# OS X
* 5406 daemon (com.apple.CoreAuthentication.daemon) [Running]
* 1153 ssh-agent (org.openbsd.ssh-agent) [Running]
* [-] daemon (com.apple.CoreAuthentication.daemon) [Unknown] (status: -43)
# Linux
* 3417 atd (/etc/init.d/atd) [Running]
* 3400 tty3 (/etc/init/tty3.conf) [Running]
* [-] plymouth (/etc/init/plymouth) [Stopped]
* [-] dmesg (/etc/init/dmesg) [Disabled]
$ ds info sshd # returns detailed information for a specific service
Real Name: org.openbsd.ssh-agent
File: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent
Status: Running
Code: 0
$ ds enabled # returns a list of the enabled (not necessarily running!) services
* 3417 atd (/etc/init.d/atd)
* 3400 tty3 (/etc/init/tty3.conf)
$ ds disabled # returns a list of the disabled services
* [-] dmesg (/etc/init/dmesg)
ds reset name
ds kill name [signal]
Examples:
$ ds reset mariadb # Reload the source file and restarts the service. Useful for debugging scripts.
# All of these are equivalent, the signal can be either a name or a number.
$ ds kill apache2 9
$ ds kill apache2 KILL
$ ds kill apache2 kill
$ ds kill apache2 SIGKILL
- Integrate the concept of users/domains (maybe).
- Aliases for debugging support (
attach
/examine
and--session
). - Capacity to manipulate logging facilities and options.
- Support for adding environment variables on
start
.
