Why 66 Software for Supervision Management?

Frontend Service Files Declaration

Service files are written in an INI format, making them straightforward to read and edit.

Simple Scandir Creation

Easily create scandir directories for both the root and regular users, allowing for efficient service management across different user levels.

Nested Scandir Supervision

Regular users have their own independent scandir directories, separate from the root, ensuring user-specific supervision without interference.

Instance Service File Creation

Supports instantiated service.

Automatic Logger Creation

Automatically creates dedicated loggers for each service, covering both classic and oneshot service types.

Automatic Dependency Chains

Automatically handles and maintains service dependencies, ensuring smooth and reliable service operations.

Identifier Interpretation

Supports specific identifiers that are replaced at parse time to simplify service file creation.

Snapshot Management

Allows the creation and management of snapshots of your service system, enabling easy backup, recovery, and sharing of service states across multiple hosts.

Service Notification

Ensures services are fully ready before managing their dependency chains, using a readiness notification mechanism.

Behavior Benefits

Independent of Boot Management

66 can supervise services independently of the boot process, making it optional to use 66 from startup. It is also fully compatible with virtualization platforms like containerd, Podman, and Docker, allowing for easy monitoring of services within containers.

Readable Logs

Logs are stored in a human-readable format for easier analysis and debugging.

File Descriptor Holding for Log Pipes

Utilizes file descriptor holding for efficient log piping, enhancing reliability and performance.
