+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 launchd, daemontools,
+and 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.
