Service and Process Management Questions

Maintaining and controlling system services and running processes reliably in production. Topics include service supervision on modern init systems and the Windows service manager, starting stopping and restarting services, configuring service dependencies boot behavior and restart policies, implementing health checks and graceful shutdown procedures, observing process status CPU and memory consumption, handling termination signals, running scheduled jobs and background workers, and using resource controls such as control groups to limit resource usage. Candidates may be evaluated on diagnosing hung services, analyzing logs, and configuring automatic recovery behaviors.
