# Peatio daemons Peatio daemons are managed by [God](http://godrb.com/). ## Starting daemons To start God as daemon run: `god -c lib/daemons/daemons.god` You can also start God in foreground: `god -c lib/daemons/daemons.god -D` **God starts all daemons when it is being initialized.** Use `god stop` to stop all daemons. God will still be up. Use `god start` to start all daemons. ## Stopping daemons To stop God and all daemons run: `god terminate` To stop only daemons leaving God up run: `god stop` ## Restarting daemons `god restart` Be patient when starting or stopping daemons: most of daemons support graceful termination so God will first send SIGTERM, wait short period of time, and forcefully kill process by sending SIGKILL if it is still up. ## Querying status `god status` ## Reading logs Each daemon has it's own log file localed at `log/daemons`.
