+watchman
+========
+
+Yet another service manager.
+
+Installation
+------------
+### Arch Linux:
+#### Latest PKGBUILDS:
+
+ * https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/watchman-sm
+ * https://pkg.fleshless.org/watchman-sm/tree
+
+#### Manual:
+
+##### Linux:
+	git clone https://github.com/fbt/watchman.git
+	cd watchman
+	./make.sh
+	./make.sh install
+
+##### FreeBSD:
+FreeBSD doesn't have /run as a tmpfs (or anything), so you would need to tell watchman where to keep runtime files
+
+	git clone https://github.com/fbt/watchman.git
+	cd watchman
+	RUNDIR=/var/run/watchman ./make.sh
+	./make.sh install
+
+##### Others:
+I'e not personally tested watchman on any other systems. Someone told me it works on Solaris and OpenBSD. Test it and get in touch with me if you want.
+
+Services
+--------
+A service is a script in the watchman's init.d directory.  
+By default it's /etc/watchman/init.d for system services and $HOME/.watchman/init.d for user ones.
+Watchman creates relevant dirs if they don't exist.
+
+Variables
+---------
+There are some variables you can use to alter a service's behaviour.  
+All of them are optional. Yes, I mean all of them.
+
+	$service_command	# The service's executable. Watchman will try to find the service in $PATH by the service name, so yes,
+							even this is optional.
+	$service_args		# Arguments to $service_command
+	$service_respawn	# Set this to restart the service if it exists. Only works with services that don't daemonize.
+	$service_name		# It is useful to set $service_name explicitly if you use a symlink to refer to a service and want to use 
+							both the original script and the symlink.
+	$service_workdir	# The directory to cd to before running $service_command
+	$service_pidfile	# The service's pid file. Will not be overwritten by watchman. By specifying this, you basically tell
+							watchman that the service mantains its pidfile itself.
+	$service_logfile	# The file with $service_command's stdout/stderr.
+	$service_actions	# Array. Available service actions. Should not be overriden, only added to. If you need to remove
+							an action, just do unset $action.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+Standart functions:
+
+	start()     # Start the service. Calls watchman.start().
+	stop()      # Stop the service. Calls watchman.stop().
+	restart()   # Restart the service. Calls stop(), then start().
+	reload()    # Reload the service's configuration. Calls watchman.reload, which sends SIGHUP to the service.
+	status()    # Show the service's status. Calls watchman.status().
+	depends()   # Starts the specified services. Calls watchman.depends.
+	logs()      # Shows the service stdout log. Calls watchman.logs.
