Starting, stopping or restarting a service in deepOfix is straightforward. The sv program takes care of these operations. sv helps manage services monitored by runsv. To specify a service, we need to specify the relevant folder or link in /var/service corresponding to the service.

We use the up command to start a service.

sv up easypush

We use the down command to stop a running service.

sv down easypush

In deepOfix, services are by default restartable, though they can be configured to run only once, and not restart. Normally, the term command can be used to restart a service.

sv term easypush

sv reads only the first character of the command so for the above, you can use

sv u             # start a service
sv d             # stop a service
sv t             # restart a service
