stado service adopt
Invocation
stado service adopt [OPTIONS] <UNIT>Purpose
Bring an existing launchd/systemd unit under management. The unit must already exist on the host — adoption claims what is there, it does not create anything. The host is probed first and the registry records what the host reported, not what was assumed.
Required inputs and options
| Input or option | Contract |
|---|---|
<UNIT> | launchd label or systemd unit name, as the host knows it |
--host <HOST> | Explicit registry host that runs it |
--host-heuristic <HOST_HEURISTIC> | Declarative placement selector resolved against the registry |
--json | Command option; required or optional as shown in the invocation. |
