config how to handle it. Unknown services are ignored.
COMMANDS

scriptmgr config.ini start -a
scriptmgr config.ini start job_name1 job_name2 ...
launch script(s) that are not running.
stop
scriptmgr config.ini stop -a
scriptmgr config.ini stop job_name1 job_name2 ...
stop script(s) that are running.
restart
scriptmgr config.ini restart -a
scriptmgr config.ini restart job_name1 job_name2 ...
restart scripts.

scriptmgr config.ini reload -a
scriptmgr config.ini reload job_name1 job_name2 ...
Send SIGHUP to scripts that are running.
