pman overview
pman manages processes, i.e. programs or applications that are run by an underlying system. For the most part, these processes are command line applications (i.e. have no GUI) and usually do not interact really with a user at all. The purpose of pman is to provide other software agents the ability to execute processes via http and then be able to respond to these agents when queried about the process. In the simplest case, pman is given some string text that is the command line of the program to run on an underlying system shell. This program is executed, and pman can then be asked for information about this process.

pman maintains a human-friendly/readable database of jobs and history, typically in the /tmp/pman directory of the machine on which it is run.
