66-disable

This command disables one ore more services inside a given tree.

Interface

	66-disable [ -h help ] [ -v verbosity ] [ -l live ] [ -t tree ] [ -S stop ] service(s)"

This tool expects to find an already enabled service inside the given tree. The targeted service(s) can also be stopped on the fly when disabling it with the -S option. Generally speaking this command is the strict opposite of the 66-enable tool.

Multiple services can be disabled by seperating their names with a space.

Options

-h : prints this help.
-v verbosity : increases/decreases the verbosity of the command. 1(Default): Only print error messages. 2: Also print warning messages. 3: Also print debugging messages.
-l live : changes the supervision directory of service to live. By default this will be /run/66. The default can also be changed at compile time by passing the --livedir=live option to ./configure. An existing absolute path is expected and should be within a writable filesystem - likely a RAM filesystem—see 66-scandir.
-t tree : disables the service from the given tree. This option is mandatory except if a tree was marked as 'current'—see 66-tree.
-S : stops the service on the fly directly after disabling it. If the state of the service is already down, this option will have no effect.

Dependencies handling

In case of 'bundle', 'longrun' or 'oneshot' services, any dependency chain will be automatically resolved. It is unnecessary to manually define chained sets of dependencies. If FooA has a declared dependency on FooB, FooB will be automatically disabled as well when disabling FooA. This will run recursively until all dependencies are disabled.
