 Gargoyle is a framework for managing daemons from Haskell. Currently, the only requirement is that the daemon be able to communicate over a Unix domain socket. See [gargoyle-postgresql](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gargoyle-postgresql) for an example that uses gargoyle to manage postgresql.
