sv: Get service status.
$ sudo sv status ${path-to-service}
try on your machine

The command "sudo sv status ${path-to-service}" is used to check the status of a service using the "sv" command with superuser privileges.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo": It is used to run the command with superuser (root) privileges. This allows executing administrative tasks that require elevated permissions.
  • "sv": It is a command used to control and manage services in some systems, like runit.
  • "status": It is an argument passed to the "sv" command, specifying that we want to check the status of a service.
  • "${path-to-service}": It is a placeholder representing the path to the specific service you want to check. You need to replace it with the actual path to the service you are interested in.

By running this command with the correct service path, you will get information about the status of the specified service, such as whether it is running or stopped.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
