What is PQPM and how do I install it?

PQPM's a Go-based process manager for Linux; curl the binary, extract, systemd enable pqpmd. Users add ~/.pqpm.toml, pqpm start.

Is PQPM safe to run as root on multi-user servers?

Yes—kernel SO_PEERCRED verifies callers, instant priv drops, cgroup limits, dir jails. No user spoofing.

Does PQPM work with PHP, Go, and Python processes?

Absolutely—language-agnostic; config any command, set limits, restart policies in TOML.
