The perp package provides a set of daemons and utilities to reliably start,
|
|
monitor, log, and control a collection of persistent processes.
|
|
|
|
A "persistent process" is any program intended to be long-running, highly
|
|
available, and purpose critical. Also known and often described as a "service",
|
|
a persistent process normally provides some essential, on-demand system
|
|
service. Programs that serve email, domain name queries, and http requests are
|
|
all examples of services that are normally run as persistent processes.
|
|
|
|
These are the programs that you want to start at system boot, and to continue
|
|
running for as long as the system itself. These are the programs you need
|
|
running in uninterrupted service, day and night, forever and ever.
|
|
|
|
perp helps make sure that they do.
