A new pipe_menu for managing services is available.

what's news :
- browse the directory of the selected service
- showing the pid for the service and the associate log directly in the pipe
- showing the status for the service and the associate log directly in the pipe
- disable the service selected and/or the associate log much easier than the old pipe
- edit ALL the file of the selected service directory, same thing for the associate log
- send a signal at the service with many option (usr1, usr2, kill, alarm, interrupt, .....), same thing for the associate log
- viewing the log file with a editor (geany by default)

So just copy and paste this following code in ~/.config/pipe_menu/runit_pipe then

$ sudo chmod +x ~/.config/pipe_menu/runit_pipe

modify your menu to provide it where you want with, for example, obmenu3.
