Use this category to discuss the installation, configuration, and usage of the [Basic Overseer Service (BOS)](https://www.auristor.com/documentation/man/linux/8/bosserver.html) installed on each of the AuriStorFS servers. The BOS Service reduces the demands on system administrators by constantly monitoring its managed child processes. It can restart failed processes automatically and provides a convenient interface for administrative tasks.
