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