S6-SVDT-CLEAR(8)

NAME
s6-svdt-clear - clear the recorded death tally of a service

SYNOPSIS
s6-svdt-clear servicedir

DESCRIPTION
s6-svdt-clear clears the recorded death tally of the service being currently supervised at the servicedir s6-service-directory(7).

Use of s6-svdt-clear impacts the listings obtained by the s6-svdt(8) command.

It also impacts the behaviour of the s6-permafailon(8) command. This is the main reason to use s6-svdt-clear: once a service has failed permanently due to an excessive number of deaths in a given time, it can be useful to erase that record of deaths before starting the service again, in order to avoid permanently failing again too fast.

EXIT STATUS

0   Success.

100 Wrong usage.

111 System call failed.
