Service Manager

Control and monitor all background processes running on the Air4.media platform. Start, stop, schedule, and watch services in real time from a single screen.

Key Features

• Service List: View all services with live status (Running, Stopped, Error), resource usage, and uptime at a glance.
• Start / Stop / Restart: Control any service with one click. Buttons appear contextually — Stop and Restart only show for running services, Start only for stopped ones.
• Batch Actions: Select multiple services and start, stop, restart, or delete them all at once.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Open the Monitor panel for any service to see live CPU usage, memory consumption, I/O activity, and a live log stream with auto-scroll.
• Script Editor: Each service can have an associated script. Write or load an existing script directly in the built-in code editor.
• Cron Scheduling: Set up automatic schedules for any service using the Schedule tab. View and manage all scheduled services from the Scheduled Services button.
• Auto-Start on Boot: Mark a service to start automatically when the server restarts.
• Auto-Stop Timer: Set a time limit (in minutes) after which a service will stop itself automatically. Set to 0 to run indefinitely.
• Log Files: Browse, view, clear, or delete log files for all services from the Log Files panel.
• Crash Detection: The system automatically detects crashed services and can restart them, with an alert shown in the interface.

System Tools

The System Tools menu provides platform-level checks:

• Check WebSocket Status — Verify the real-time connection service is running.
• Restart WebSocket Service — Restart the live-update connection if needed.
• Verify Crontab Entries — Confirm all scheduled services are correctly registered.
• Verify Boot Services — Check which services are configured to start on boot.
• Test Server Permissions — Run a permissions check to catch configuration issues.

Tips

• Use the Status and Auto Start filters at the top of the list to quickly find services by their current state.
• Search by name or description to locate a specific service quickly.
• The monitoring panel updates in real time — leave it open to watch a service during a critical operation.
• Always save a service before configuring its schedule; the Schedule tab requires a saved service ID.
