Oh, that could work, nice. Maybe a little bit more generic? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- herd ACTION --batch s1 s2 s3 [-- args...] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Technically that prevents the user from batch-restarting service called `--', but I would not be surprised if there would be some issues with that already, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The default actions (restart, ...) still should probably signal an error if they get arguments, people (me included) will forget the --batch from time to time. > > Ludo’. -- There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
