# servicectl

little service manager thing i made

# How to set it up

1. Make a folder to hold all your services. ~/services works well for this.
2. Change every instance of `/home/user/services/` to `/path/to/your/service/folder/` in the script.
3. Add a user for each of your services, and set each user's home folder to `/path/to/your/services/folder/<service name>/`.
4. Privilege each user with the required privileges for each service. For example, a service to automatically update the system probably needs elevated privileges to use the package manager.
5. su to each service and make a `~/start.sh` and `~/stop.sh` file. In the `start.sh` file, put a shell script to start the service, and in the `stop.sh` file, put a shell script to stop the service. Make sure both scripts are executable.

# How to use it

Start a service:

`# ./servicectl start <service name>`

Stop a service:

`# ./servicectl stop <service name>`

Run servicectl with no arguments to get a list of commands.
