Available modes:

• list: List the services located at '/etc/runit/sv'.
• link: Link the service from '/etc/runit/sv' to '/etc/runit/runsvdir/default'.
• enabled: List the enabled services located at '/etc/runit/runsvdir/default'.
• disable: Disable a service from activating at boot.
• enable: Enable a service activation after boot.
• status: Display the service information.
• start: Start the service.
• restart: Stop and start the service.
• stop: Stop the service.
• purge: Will stop, unlink, and remove the service permanently.
• journal: Listen kernel logs.
