Hi, I have "A" service which should not start at bootup. It will be started by other service(using s6-svc -u ). I have added the "A" service in s6 bundle and created the empty down file in service directory to consider the service as down until it is started by other service. But in my case, Though I have a empty down file in "A" service directory, It is started at bootup.
I have taken the below as reference and implemented. Can you please let me know, what is the problem here. An optional, empty, regular file named down. If such a file exists, the default state of the service is considered down, not up: s6-supervise will not automatically start it until it receives a s6-svc -u command. If no down file exists, the default state of the service is up Thanks.
