.SH NAME

\fBsvchub\fR \- top-level process supervisor

'''

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBsvchub\fR runs as PID 1 for most of the system's uptime, spawning

and monitoring a set system services.

'''

.SH USAGE

Upon startup, \fBsvchub\fR spawns \fB/etc/boot/startup\fR and waits

for it to start start some services (by invoking \fBsvcctl start\fR)

and everything that needs to be running in the system. After \fBstartup\fR

finishes, \fBsvchub\fR keeps monitoring the spawned services.

.P

If commanded or signalled to stop, \fBsvchub\fR stops all the services

it supervises and attempts to halt the system by running one of the

shutdown scripts.

'''
