⚡ Systemg - A Lightweight Process Manager

Systemg is a simple, fast, and dependency-free process manager written in Rust.
It aims to provide a minimal alternative to systdemd and other heavyweight service managers, focusing on ease of use, clarity, and performance.

🚀 Why Systemg?

Traditional process managers like systemd are complex, heavy, and introduce unnecessary dependencies.
Systemg offers a lightweight, configuration-driven solution that’s easy to set up and maintain.

✨ Features

• Declarative YAML Configuration - Define services, dependencies, and restart policies easily.
• Automatic Process Monitoring - Restart crashed services based on custom policies.
• Environment Variable Support - Load variables from .env files and per-service configurations.
• Minimal & Fast - Built with Rust, designed for performance and low resource usage.
• No Root Required - Unlike systemd, it doesn’t take over PID 1.
