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