svtree

a frontend for s6-rc, with support for service templating, that you can run as a user service manager, but that also works for system services.

svtree-run

spawns the s6-svscan process that is the root of the supervision tree, calls s6-rc-init and requests the default bundle to run

svtree-compile

reloads the service definitions and swaps the active supervision tree

svtree-generate

generates service definitions from templates

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/s6-rc/src

this is the base s6-rc service tree that is merged with the services generated by s6-rc-generate. There MUST at least be a default target, most commonly a bundle that declares the set of services that should run on boot.

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/s6-rc/templates

defines a set of services templates s6-rc-generate uses as input, the string +service will be replaced with the target service name (works in file names and inside files)

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/s6-rc/generate

defines a set of services s6-rc-generate should generate, the names MUST be in the format
