run (sequence)
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
**Syntax:** `run [LVLS] <COND> /path/to/cmd ARGS -- Optional description`
|
||||
|
||||
> `<COND>` is described in the [Services](services.md) section.
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot command to run in sequence when entering a runlevel, with
|
||||
optional arguments and description. `run` commands are guaranteed to be
|
||||
completed before running the next command. Useful when serialization is
|
||||
required.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> Try to avoid the `run` command. It blocks much of the functionality
|
||||
> in Finit, like (re)starting other (perhaps crashing) services while a
|
||||
> `run` task is executing. Use other synchronization mechanisms
|
||||
> instead, like conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
Incomplete list of unsupported `initctl` commands in `run` tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
- `initctl runlevel N`, setting runlevel
|
||||
- `initctl reboot`
|
||||
- `initctl halt`
|
||||
- `initctl poweroff`
|
||||
- `initctl suspend`
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent `initctl` from calling Finit when enabling and disabling
|
||||
services from inside a `run` task, use the `--force` option. See
|
||||
also the `--quiet` and `--batch` options.
|
||||
|
||||
task (parallel)
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
**Syntax:** `task [LVLS] <COND> /path/to/cmd ARGS -- Optional description`
|
||||
|
||||
> `<COND>` is described in the [Services](services.md) section.
|
||||
|
||||
One-shot like 'run', but starts in parallel with the next command.
|
||||
|
||||
Both `run` and `task` commands are run in a shell, so basic pipes and
|
||||
redirects can be used:
|
||||
|
||||
task [s] echo "foo" | cat >/tmp/bar
|
||||
|
||||
Please note, `;`, `&&`, `||`, and similar are *not supported*. Any
|
||||
non-trivial constructs are better placed in a separate shell script.
