- `service status` does not require priviledges anymore… if the
`status` binary is owned by root and has the setuid and setguid
flags. Hopefully, that binary only checks that a service’s process
exists.
- The idea would be to allow running specific commands from SUID
binaries when unpriviledged users should be able to run them. Such
commands include getting services status, which need root
priviledges to be implemented but shouldn’t be required by users.
- Because the repository now builds several binaries, src/main.cr is
now src/service.cr and a WIP src/status.cr has been added.
- The `status` binary will likely be installed in libexec in the
future, with the SUID bit set.
