SYNOPSIS

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

 Supported commands:
    status
    start
    stop
    restart
    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.
