Well, the main process and its whole hierarchy, that's what you would expect of an init system monitoring its services, right? And what's nice with systemd is that I can get that from a simple `systemctl status my-service` – of course I could deploy a whole observability stack, but better if I can avoid it.
But there is no need to be defensive, it RC can that's nice, if it can't, then well, too bad.

That's what I'd love to hear about, what are the equivalent in the BSDs world.
Best practice would be to pack the service into a jail and then use `ractl` to monitor I/O. Could also then monitor the VNET socket of the jail for network stats.
Or you just grab the PID and get it through that. A bit more manual, but composable.
