The s6-rc-oneshot-run internal program

s6-rc-oneshot-run executes a oneshot service's up or down script taken from the current live compiled database.

s6-rc-oneshot-run is not meant to be used directly; it is used in internal scripts created by s6-rc-compile, which are invoked during an s6-rc execution.

Interface

     s6-rc-oneshot-run [ -l live ] [ -b ] up|down n

s6-rc-oneshot-run executes into the up or down script of the nth oneshot service defined in the current compiled service database (i.e. the compiled linked from the live directory).

Options

-l live : use the live directory in live. Default is /run/s6-rc, or what was given to the --livedir configure option at compile time.
-b : blocking lock. If the service database is currently being used by another program, s6-rc-oneshot-run will wait until that other program has released its lock on the database, then proceed. By default, s6-rc-oneshot-run fails with an error message if the database is currently in use.

Exit codes

3: invalid service number
4: invalid service database
100: wrong usage
111: system call failed
126: cannot exec script
127: cannot exec script: executable not found
other exit codes: returned from the executed up or down script
