runsvdir - starts and monitors a collection of runsv(8) processes

                                                                                                     runsvdir(8)

dir  must  be  a  directory.   log  is a space holder for a readproctitle log, and must be at least seven
       characters long or absent.

       runsvdir starts a runsv(8) process for each subdirectory, or symlink to  a  directory,  in  the  services
       directory  dir,  up  to a limit of 1000 subdirectories, and restarts a runsv(8) process if it terminates.
       runsvdir skips subdirectory names starting with dots.  runsv(8) must be in runsvdir's PATH.

       At least every five seconds runsvdir checks whether the time of last  modification,  the  inode,  or  the
       device,  of  the services directory dir has changed.  If so, it re-scans the service directory, and if it
       sees a new subdirectory, or new symlink to a directory, in dir, it starts  a  new  runsv(8)  process;  if
       runsvdir sees a subdirectory being removed that was previously there, it sends the corresponding runsv(8)
       process  a TERM signal, stops monitoring this process, and so does not restart the runsv(8) process if it
       exits.

       If the log argument is given to runsvdir, all output to standard error is redirected to this  log,  which
       is  similar to the daemontools' readproctitle log.  To see the most recent error messages, use a process-
       listing tool such as ps(1).  runsvdir writes a dot to the readproctitle log every 15 minutes so that  old
       error messages expire.

-P     use setsid(2) to run each runsv(8) process in a new session and separate process group.

sv(8), runsv(8), runsvchdir(8), runit(8), runit-init(8), chpst(8), svlogd(8), utmpset(8), setsid(2)

       If runsvdir receives a TERM signal, it exits with 0 immediately.

       If  runsvdir  receives a HUP signal, it sends a TERM signal to each runsv(8) process it is monitoring and
       then exits with 111.
