DINITCHECK(8)

NAME
dinitcheck - check service configuration

SYNOPSIS

dinitcheck [-d|--services-dir dir] [service-name...]

DESCRIPTION
The dinitcheck utility checks the service configuration for Dinit services (see dinit(8)), and reports any errors it finds. This allows for finding errors before they can cause a service to fail to load during system operation.

Errors reported by dinitcheck include:

•   Syntax errors

•   Invalid parameter values

•   Service dependency cycles

Unless altered by options specified on the command line, this utility uses the same search paths (for service description files) as dinit.

OPTIONSs

-d dir, --services-dir dir
    Specifies dir as the directory containing service definition files. The directory specified will be the only directory searched for service definitions. If not specified, the default is $HOME/dinit.d or, for the system service manager, each of /etc/dinit.d/fR, /usr/local/lib/dinit.d, and /lib/dinit.d (searched in that order).

--help
    Display brief help text and then exit.

service-name
    Specifies the name of a service that should be checked (along with its dependencies). If none are specified, defaults to boot (which requires that a suitable service description for the boot service exists).

dinit(8), dinit-service(5).
