  43     (description
  44      "The name Pies (pronounced \"p-yes\") stands for Program Invocation
  45 and Execution Supervisor.  This utility starts and controls execution of
  46 external programs, called components.  Each component is a stand-alone
  47 program, which is executed in the foreground.  Upon startup, pies reads
  48 the list of components from its configuration file, starts them, and
  49 remains in the background, controlling their execution.  If any of the
  50 components terminates, the default action of Pies is to restart it.
  51 However, it can also be programmed to perform a variety of another
  52 actions such as, e.g., sending mail notifications to the system
  53 administrator, invoking another external program, etc.
  54
  55 Pies can be used for a wide variety of tasks.  Its most obious use is to
  56 put in backgound a program which normally cannot detach itself from the
  57 controlling terminal, such as, e.g., minicom.  It can launch and control
  58 components of some complex system, such as Jabberd or MeTA1 (and it
  59 offers much more control over them than the native utilities).  Finally,
  60 it can replace the inetd utility!")
