# Process Management Controller (PMC)

## Overview

PMC (Process Management Controller) is a simple PM2 alternative written in Rust. It provides a command-line/api interface to start, stop, restart, and manage fork processes

## Features

- Start, stop, and restart processes.
- List all running processes with customizable output formats.
- Retrieve detailed information about a specific process.
- Use HTTP/rust api to control processes.

## Usage

```bash
# Start/Restart a process
pmc start <id> or <script> [--name <name>]

# Stop/Kill a process
pmc stop <id>

# Remove a process
pmc remove <id>

# Get process info
pmc info <id>

# Get process env
pmc env <id>

# List all processes
pmc list [--format <raw|json|default>]

# Get process logs
pmc logs <id> [--lines <num_lines>]
```
