66-disable [ -h ] [ -z ] [ -v verbosity ] [ -l live ] [ -t tree ] [ -S ] 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.
-h : prints this help.
-z : use color.
-v verbosity : increases/decreases the verbosity of the command.
-l live : changes the supervision directory of service to live. By default this will be %%livedir%%
. 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 : handles the selection of the given tree. This option is mandatory except if a tree was marked as ‘current'—see 66-tree.
-S : starts the service on the fly directly after enabling it. If the state of the service is already up, this option will have no effect unless the -f option is used to reload it.
In case of 'bundle'
or 'atomic'
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.
