+The perp package provides a set of daemons and utilities to reliably
+start, monitor, log, and control a collection of persistent processes.
+
+A "persistent process" is any program intended to be long-running,
+highly available, and purpose critical. Also known and often described
+as a "service", a persistent process normally provides some essential,
+on-demand system service. Programs that serve email, domain name
+queries, and http requests are all examples of services that are
+normally run as persistent processes.
+
+These are the programs that you want to start at system boot, and
+to continue running for as long as the system itself. These are the
+programs you need running in uninterrupted service, day and night,
+forever and ever.
+
+perp helps make sure that they do.
