# 66

Tool to control the state of the system and service manager.

## Interface

```
    66 [ -h ] [ -z ] [ -v verbosity ] [ -l live ] [ -T timeout ] [ -t tree ] start|stop|reload|restart|free|reconfigure|enable|disable|configure|status|resolve|state|remove|signal|tree|init|parse|scandir|boot|poweroff|reboot|halt|version [<command options> or subcommand <subcommand options>] service...|tree
```

## Options

These options are available for most commands, except for a few. In such cases, the help of the specific command provides clarification.

- **-h** : prints this help.

- **-z** : use color.

- **-v** *verbosity* : increases/decreases the verbosity of the command.
    * *1* : only print error messages. This is the default.
    * *2* : also, print warning messages.
    * *3* : also, print tracing messages.
    * *4* : also, print debugging messages.
    * *5* : also, display the sequence of the current process function by function.

- **-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 and executable filesystem - likely a RAM filesystem—see [scandir](scandir.html) command.

- **-T** *timeout* : specifies a general timeout (in milliseconds) passed to command. By default the timeout is set to 0 (infinite).

- **-t** *tree* : only handles *service(s)* for *tree*.
