State

Runtime files systemg uses to track services.

​
Location

~/.local/share/systemg/ (user mode) /var/lib/systemg/ (system mode with --sys)

​
Structure

~/.local/share/systemg/
├── sysg.pid           # Supervisor PID
├── control.sock       # Unix socket for IPC
├── config_hint        # Last config path
├── pid.xml           # Service → PID mapping
├── state.xml         # Service metadata
└── logs/             # Service output

​
Key files

​
pid.xml

Maps services to process IDs: 
<PidFile>
  <services>
    <web>67235</web>
    <db>67236</db>
  </services>
</PidFile>

​
config_hint

Stores the last config path so you don’t need --config on every command.

​
state.xml

Tracks service status, restart counts, and exit codes.

​
Persistence

State survives supervisor restarts. Services keep running even if the supervisor crashes. Clean shutdown removes sysg.pid and control.sock. Stale files after crash? Run sysg purge.
