# README
# perp: persistent process supervision
# (includes runtools and libasagna)
# wcm, 2009.12.28 - 2013.01.11
# ===
This is perp, aka "the perpetrator", a persistent process supervisor
and service managment framework for un!x.
The perp package provides a set of daemons and utilities to reliably
start, monitor, log, and control a collection of persistent processes.
-Huh?
A "persistent process" is defined as any long-running program,
normally starting at system boot and intended to continue running
until system shutdown. Also known and often described as a "service",
a persistent process generally 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.
-So?
perp provides a portable, uniform framework for installing such
services on any un!x platform, initializes services reliably within
a consistent process environment, and makes sure they continue to
run and log untended for as long as necessary.
-Is that all?
The big news with release 2.0 is that the perpd(8) daemon now runs as
a single process, coalescing all the operations formerly provided by
multiple perpetrate(8) supervisors into a single executable. By
eliminating all the supervisory "middle-man" processes, the context
switching overhead of the perp system is substantially simplified over
earlier releases. And perpd(8) now sets up a mere 2 file objects on
startup -- a lock file and a domain socket -- and otherwise generates
no disk activity whatsoever during runtime.
-Says you!
Sigh...

./INSTALL how to install/upgrade
./LICENSE copyright/license info
./README this here file right here
./conf.mk build/install configuration file
./examples/* sample service definitions
./lasagna/* libasagna utility library sources
./perp/* perp build sources
./runtools/* runtools build sources
Requirements:
This package is intended to build, install and run on any contemporary
un!x platform without additional requirements. It has been tested on
the following platforms:
NetBSD 5.0, i386
Linux 2.6+, i686, gcc + gnu libc
Linux 2.6+, i686, gcc + dietlibc
Linux 2.6+, x86_64, gcc + dietlibc
Darwin 10.3.2 (Mac OSX), i386
Installation:
See INSTALL for complete instructions on building and installing the
software, and upgrading from an earlier release.
Documentation:
This package includes a set of troff -man pages. To view them prior
to installation, see the /man subdirectory within each of the ./perp
and ./runtools subdirectories. It is suggested to skim the following
pages for an overview of the system: perp_intro.8, perpd.8, perpetrate.5,
and perp-setup.8.
Process 1 (/sbin/init) Support:
This release of perp does not include replacement for /sbin/init.
If this is important for you -- and especially if you are interested
in developing a complete perp-based un!x distribution -- please
let me know.
Feedback:
This project includes the suggestions and corrections provided by perp
users from around the world. Thanks for your feedback!
