`sv down foo` tells runsv to strive to have the `foo` service down.
(`runsv` will try to kill it.)
`sv check foo` will check if the desired state is the actual state.
This means if you asked for `foo` to be up,
it will return 0 if and only if it's up.
But it also means that if you asked for `foo` to be down,
it will return 0 if and only if it's down.
There's a good chance you actually want `sv -v up foo` instead.
I never use `sv check`, personally,
but I'm listing it here because it seems to confuse people.
There are more `sv` commands,
but these are the ones I use most frequently.
