runit-user-session

This service will start a runsvdir process for a given user that will manage runit services in:

$HOME/.local/service

requirements

• libcgroup-utils - The session uses cgroups to limit available pids.

user-sessions

create a user session service:

$ cp -r user-session /etc/sv/user."$USER"
$ ln -s /etc/sv/user."$USER" /var/service/user."$USER"

and services in ~/.local/service. Runit should now automatically run all services. To control the services, use the provided usv script or add a function to your shell rc:

usv () {
    SVDIR=~/.local/service sv $@
}

now run (assuming you have the user-session running):

$ usv start aria2c
ok: run: aria2c: (pid 12237) 1061s
$ usv status aria2c
run: aria2c: (pid 12237) 1353s
$ usv stop aria2c
ok: down: aria2c: 1s, normally up

Stopping the user-session should also stop all child services:

$ usv status aria2c
ok: run: aria2c: (pid 12237) 1061s
$ ps 14335
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
12237 ?        S      0:00 aria2c --enable-rpc=true --disable-ipv6 --check-certificate=false
$ sv user-session stop
ok: down: user-session: 0s, normally up
$ ps aux | grep aria2c
