SYNOPSIS

ubic [-f] COMMAND [SERVICE]...

   status
   start

   reload
   force-reload
   cached-status
   try-restart
   ...and any service-specific commands

DESCRIPTION

This program can start, stop and display status of any services. It is a main tool for system administrator who wants to operate ubic services.

ubic conforms to LSB interface for init scripts (http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_4.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html) with obvious exception that it is invoked as ubic COMMAND SERVICE instead of /etc/init.d/SERVICE COMMAND.

It also can operate several services at once:

• if invoked as ubic start service1 service2, it will try to start both services;

• if invoked as ubic start multiservice, it will start all subservices of given multiservice;

• if invoked as ubic start, it will start all existing services.

When operating multiservices, flag -f can be used to force operations on "protected" multiservices. For example, you can't restart all services on host using ubic restart, you have to say ubic restart -f.

EXIT STATUS

When managing one service, exit status conforms to LSB specification when it makes sense.

When managing several services, exit code is non-zero if any service fails, and zero if all operations succeeded.
