Lines beinning with
.Ql #
as well as blank lines
are ignored.
.
.It Cm % Ar command ...
Lines beginning with
.Ql %
add shell commands
to be executed before
each of the service commands.
These commands are executed
in the order they appear in the file,
for all services.
These lines can be used to
set shell or environment variables
to be expanded in service command lines
or used by the service processes.
.
.It Ar service Ar command ...
All other lines define services.
The service name is separated
from its command line by whitespace.
The rest of the line after the service name
is executed using the shell.
The shell variable
.Va $0
is set to the name of the service.
If the command line
does not contain the characters
.Ql ;&|()
it is prepended by
.Ic exec
when passed to the shell.
.
.It Ar @service Ar command ...
Service names beginning with
.Ql @
define
.Em privileged
services,
which are started with the same user and group as
.Xr catsitd 8 .
This can be used for services
which drop their own privileges
or which call
.Xr chroot 2 .
