<p>Carbs Linux uses <code>busybox-runit</code> by default, but the repository additionally has the
original <code>runit</code> and <code>sysmgr</code>. You can install either with <code>kiss b runit; kiss i runit</code>
or <code>kiss b sysmgr; kiss i sysmgr</code>.</p>

<h1>runit</h1>

<p><strong>Enabling a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>ln -sf /etc/sv/acpid /var/service
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Disabling a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>unlink /var/service/acpid
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Starting a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>sv start acpid
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Stopping a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>sv stop acpid
</code></pre>

<p>For more information refer to the <code>sv --help</code> output. Also check out the <code>sv(8)</code>
manual page if you have installed the <code>runit</code> package.</p>

<h1>sysmgr</h1>

<p><a href="https://github.com/cemkeylan/sysmgr">sysmgr</a> is POSIX-sh service supervisor written by me. Its usage resembles
<code>runit</code>. The biggest difference is that <code>sysmgr</code> uses service files instead
of directories with run scripts inside.</p>

<h2>svctl</h2>

<p><code>svctl</code> is the equivalant of <code>sv</code> for sysmgr. You can run the above commands for
<code>runit</code> and use <code>svctl</code> instead of <code>sv</code>. Those would be as follows.</p>

<p><strong>Enabling a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>ln -sf /etc/sysmgr/acpid /var/sysmgr
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Disabling a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>unlink /var/sysmgr/acpid
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Starting a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>svctl start acpid
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Stopping a Service</strong></p>

<pre><code>svctl stop acpid
</code></pre>

<h2>Switching from runit</h2>

<p>Switching from <code>runit</code> is fairly easy. You can run the following commands to get
started with <code>sysmgr</code>.</p>

<pre><code># 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
</code></pre>
