Definition of actions, associated with an apparatus, are defined in python scripts code-named as apparatus_NAME.py. Scripts are imported from directory, specified in --configDir option. The script should define a dictionary startup.

• 'cmd': command which will be used to start and stop the manager,
• 'cd': directory (if needed), from where to run the cmd,
• 'process': used for checking/stopping the manager to identify the manager's process. If cmd properly identifies the manager, then this key is not necessary,
