66 - Service manager around S6 supervision suite
Sixty-six is service manager built around s6 created to make the implementation and manipulation of service files on your machine easier. It is meant to be a toolbox for the declaration, implementation and administration of services to achieve powerful functionality with small amounts of code.
Examples of what can be achieved by 66:
- Frontend service files declaration.
- Easy creation of a scandir.
- Nested supervision tree.
- Instance service file creation.
- Multiple directories service file declaration(packager,sysadmin,user).
- Easy change of service configuration.
- Automatic logger creation.
- Service Notification.
- Organizes services as a
tree. - Easy view of service status.
- User service declaration.
- Automatic dependencies service chain.
- ...
66 works on mechanisms not on policies. It can be compiled with glibc or musl.

Frontend service file
66 do not provide any frontend services file by default. 66 works on mechanisms not on policies.
Boot service file
The boot sequence can be a tedious task to accomplish. A portable and complete set of services can be found here.
This set of service work out of the box and highly configurable to suit needs of the distributions.
POC was made on Gentoo, Funtoo, Devuan, Void, Adelie, Antix, Arch.
Runtime service file
You can find several examples for common daemon here or here(thanks to mobinmob).
Frontend service file scripting
By default, 66 use execline as scripting language. However, you can specify the scripting language to use.
66-tools provide some additonal tools to help you on this task.
Some are specific to execline where other can be used on classic shell.
