Have s6-svscan send SIGTERM to one logger

[Paul Sopka]

Hey everybody


which in turn waits for s6-svscan to close the fifo.
I have solved this by the following script:

.s6-svscan/SIGTERM

| #!/bin/execlineb -P
|
| # in case no message has been sent yet
| foreground { echo }
|
| foreground { s6-svc -h s6-svscan-log }
|
| s6-svscanctl -t .


since logs are propagated up the hierarchy.

Still, I wonder whether there is a more elegant solution to this.

I have a logger supervised by the very s6-svscan instance it logs through the fifo trick. Now sending SIGTERM to the s6-svscan process won't work, since it waits for the logger forever, This has the obvious downside that the catch all logger is brought down early. Since this is not the main supervision tree, I require the ability to stop this instance of s6-svscan. This also means that it is not too bad that the catch all logger is brought down early,
