Easily enable or disable runit services.
sudo make install
This makes symlinks to the sv_mgr.py file in this repository. Use the DESTDIR var to change the install location as needed.
By its nature, runit is a set of very small tools; it doesn't do a lot of extra crap and I appreciate that. Some may feel it is a bit minimalistic, but I think that's a strong point.
One thing I find myself doing over and over again, is enabling or disabling services by making or removing symlinks. Easy enough, but it gets kind of old.
Inspired by this repetition, sv-disable, sv-enable, and sv-mgr were conceived to be used on a Void Linux setup but could work with any setup involving runit.
The idea is to have a nice-ish interface to disabling or enabling services:
➜ sudo sv-enable nginx
[ OK ] Enabling service: 'nginx'
➜ sudo sv-disable nginx
[ OK ] Disabling service: 'nginx'
➜ sudo sv-disable docker
[ FAIL ] 'docker' is not enabled!
Not many: aside from disabling or enabling a service, listing of active services is available via sv-mgr.
In the future, it might be desirable to have the default directory values read from a config file.
