Supervisor: A Process Control System
====================================

Supervisor is a client/server system that allows its users to monitor
and control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems.

It shares some of the same goals of programs like :term:`launchd`,
:term:`daemontools`, and :term:`runit`. Unlike some of these programs,
it is not meant to be run as a substitute for ``init`` as "process id
1". Instead it is meant to be used to control processes related to a
project or a customer, and is meant to start like any other program at
boot time.
