Carbs Linux uses `busybox-runit` by default, but the repository additionally has the original `runit` and `sysmgr`. You can install either with `kiss b runit; kiss i runit` or `kiss b sysmgr; kiss i sysmgr`. runit ===== **Enabling a Service** ln -sf /etc/sv/acpid /var/service **Disabling a Service** unlink /var/service/acpid **Starting a Service** sv start acpid **Stopping a Service** sv stop acpid For more information refer to the `sv --help` output. Also check out the `sv(8)` manual page if you have installed the `runit` package. sysmgr ====== [sysmgr] is POSIX-sh service supervisor written by me. Its usage resembles `runit`. The biggest difference is that `sysmgr` uses service files instead of directories with run scripts inside. svctl ----- `svctl` is the equivalant of `sv` for sysmgr. You can run the above commands for `runit` and use `svctl` instead of `sv`. Those would be as follows. **Enabling a Service** ln -sf /etc/sysmgr/acpid /var/sysmgr **Disabling a Service** unlink /var/sysmgr/acpid **Starting a Service** svctl start acpid **Stopping a Service** svctl stop acpid Switching from runit -------------------- Switching from `runit` is fairly easy. You can run the following commands to get started with `sysmgr`. # Create the directories if you haven't yet mkdir -p /var/sysmgr /etc/sysmgr # Copy all of the run scripts to /etc/sysmgr set -- /etc/sv/* for service; do cp "$service/run" "/etc/sysmgr/${service##*/}" ; done # Link all enabled services set -- /var/service/* for service; do ln -sf /etc/sysmgr/${service##*/} /var/sysmgr ; done [sysmgr]: https://github.com/cemkeylan/sysmgr
