Service Managers

[!note] Previously this section was titled “User Service Managers”, but has been renamed to “Service Managers” to accomodate all service managers.

A service manager is a piece of software that controls, supervises, and “manages” the lifecycle of various system services and daemons. Typically, service managers manage software on two different levels of a system, The User Level and the System Level. The user level, being services and daemons which can be controled per user, and the system level, being services and daemons controled globally.

Below is a list of service managers for which we possess a page for:

1. supervisord
2. pm2
3. Systemd
4. rc
