## Using procServ

### Running Applications (e.g. EPICS IOCs) as Services on Unix
### Running Applications (e.g. EPICS IOCs) as Services on Unix/Linux

Michael Davidsaver has contributed a set of utility scripts for managing
procServ-run system service instances under systemd. These scripts generate
the systemd unit files as well as configuration snippets for the
[conserver](https://www.conserver.com/) tool.

To build and install these tools, use the python-typical sequence of
```sh
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
```

There are two user callable scripts:
- `manage-procs` to add and remove procServ instances
- `prattach` to attach to the console of a running procServ instance

The `-h` option prints a short help for both scripts.

For older systems using SysV-style rc scripts, you can look at the
[Debian package](http://epics.nsls2.bnl.gov/debian/) or
at the [upstream repository](https://github.com/epicsdeb/sysv-rc-softioc)
