runsv: Start a runit service as the current user.
$ runsv ${path-to-service}
try on your machine

This command is calling the runsv utility with a specific argument or parameter, in this case, ${path-to-service}.

runsv is a program typically used in the supervision of services/processes in Unix-like operating systems. It is responsible for starting, stopping, and monitoring the status of a service. The ${path-to-service} represents the path to the specific service that runsv should handle.

By executing this command, the runsv program will take action on the specified service located at ${path-to-service}. The exact behavior and actions performed will depend on the specific implementation and configuration of runsv for the given service.
