# 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
