Subject: s6-rc: dependencies across scandirs
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2024 15:34:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CY4BWQ3FTACT.12W6FR5G8I9YK@posteo.net> (raw)

Hi, I would like to have some kind of dependency handling across
multiple scandirs.

For example an instanced service that starts and waits for a dependency
before the first instace has been started.

I think s6-svc -WU -u could do that to some extend. There would be
problems though if the dependency is forced down.

A more complicated variation I would like to have is a user service
depending on a system service (and starting it!). For example a user
service for sway depends on the system service for seatd.

I think this would't work with s6-svc at all. This could probably be
done with some ipc client/server similar to s6-sudo.

Is there any simple and safe way to do something like this?
