light instance controller
Rev1 : 05 / 25 / 2011
Role 1 :
Run and maintain alive a serie of processes
The controller should be able to restart without restarting the 'children'Remarks:

Signals should be propagated normally but signal 20. Watch out!
More important, it is not possible to stop a service for the moment, although it is very simple to implement on top of what we have
(for soft service update)
