CMD
Specifies action to perform:
CREATE
Create new service
REMOVE
Delete existing service
ENABLE
Enable service
DISABLE
Disable service
SERVICE
Specifies the service name

NOTE: If you REMOVE a service and specify a service user (with -u) and/or a log user (with -l) these users (except root) are removed, too, if you also specify the option -d and/or -D! This happens without any confirmation requests and the users are deleted even if they were not created by svsetup!

If you create a new service a default run script is created. If there is already a run script in ETCDIR this existing runscript is used instead.
