• Automatic Restart: Attempts to restart failed services automatically
• Detailed Logging: Records all activities with timestamps
• Status Reporting: Clear status messages for each service
• Configurable: Easy to add or remove services to monitor

📋 Monitored Services

• SSH - Secure shell access
• Apache2 - Web server
• MySQL - Database server
• Nginx - Web server/proxy
• Docker - Container runtime
