NAME 

svc-add - Add a svscan service.

SYNOPSIS 

svc-add [ -d ] SERVICE [ DIRECTORY ]

DESCRIPTION 

svc-add adds the named service to the /service directory by creating a symbolic link there to the service directory. The service directory defaults to /var/service/SERVICE but may be overridden by the DIRECTORY parameter.

OPTIONS 

-d
Mark the service as being down initially so that svscan won't start it automatically.

EXAMPLES 

Add the /var/service/qmail service:

svc-add qmail Add the dnscache service from /etc/dnscache without starting it:

svc-add -d dnscache /etc/dnscache

ENVIRONMENT 

SVCLOCKDIR
If set, this overrides the default of /var/service for the default service directory base path.
SVSCANDIR
If set, this overrides the default of /service for the directory into which the services should be linked.

NOTES 

This script does not activate the service. However, if the service has not been marked down, it will be started by svscan.
