# Services

## Overview

## Starting and Stopping

POCS services uses `supervisord` to run processes in the background. To check that things are running, use the command `sudo supervisorctl status`.

```
(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  supervisorctl status
pocs-config-server               RUNNING   pid 782, uptime 1 day, 0:12:39
pocs-jupyter-server              STOPPED   Not started
pocs-power-monitor               RUNNING   pid 784, uptime 1 day, 0:12:39
pocs-weather-reader              RUNNING   pid 783, uptime 1 day, 0:12:39
```

When making changes to the config file, use `supervisorctl reread` to save those changes.
