 The s6-svdt-clear program 
s6-svdt-clear clears the recorded death tally of a service.
 Interface 
     s6-svdt-clear servicedir
 s6-svdt-clear clears the recorded death tally of the service being
currently supervised at the servicedir
service directory.

-  111: system call failed 
 Notes 
 -  Use of s6-svdt-clear impacts the listings obtained
by the s6-svdt command. 
-  It also impacts the behaviour of the
s6-permafailon command. This is
the main reason to use s6-svdt-clear: once a service has
failed permanently due to an excessive number of deaths in a given
time, it can be useful to erase that record of deaths before
starting the service again, in order to avoid permanently failing
again too fast.
