+  Serviceman: cross-platform service management for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
+description: |
+  Serviceman is a hassle-free wrapper around your system launcher. It works with the default system launcher to make it easy to start _user_- and _system_-level services, such as webservers, backup scripts, network and system tools, etc.
+
+  Supports
+    - `launchctl` (macOS)
+    - `systemctl` (Linux)
+    - The Registry (Windows)
+---
+
+Serviceman can run an app in just about any programming language very simply.
+
+If you'd like to learn what `serviceman` does without actually making changes,
+add the `--dry-run` option.
+
+### Node.js
+
+**Development Server**
+
+```bash
+pushd ./my-node-app/
+sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
+    serviceman add --cap-net-bind --system npx nodemon
+```
+
+**Production Server**
+
+```bash
+pushd ./my-node-app/
+sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
+    serviceman add --cap-net-bind --system npm start
+```
+
+### Golang
+
+```bash
+pushd ./my-go-package/
+sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
+    serviceman add --system go run -mod=vendor cmd/my-service/*.go --port 3000
+```
+
+```bash
+pushd ./my-go-package/
+go build -mod=vendor cmd/my-service
+sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
+    serviceman add --cap-net-bind --system ./my-service --port 80
+```
+
+### And even bash!
+
+```bash
+sudo env PATH="$PATH" serviceman add bash ./backup.sh /mnt/data
+```
+
+### Use `--dry-run` to see the generated launcher config:
+
+```bash
+sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
+    serviceman add --dryrun bash ./backup.sh /mnt/data
+```
+
+### See the (sub)command help
+

+serviceman --help
+```
+
+Sub-command specific help:
