Is it possible to force a service directory not to be started ? I want runsv
running, but the ./run shouldnt
be executed untill I send it a "sv once" signal.....

It would be nice to have a directory where I put 'one-time' scripts for
ifconfig, route, setting resolv.conf, etc.
These 'special' runsvdirs will be send a 'sv once' signal when I need to
activate them!

To accomplish this the runsv must be running for all the services, but it
should be in the DOWN state. Or
perhaps a newly BOOT or INIT state if what I want isnt possible yet ;) That
way you'd know if the services
was ever run since last boot. But I am really hoping its already
possible.....
