+# Service Manager Examples
+
+This directory contains examples demonstrating the usage of the `sal-service-manager` crate.
+
+## Running Examples
+
+To run any example, use the following command structure from the `service_manager` crate's root directory:
+
+```sh
+cargo run --example <EXAMPLE_NAME>
+```
+
+---
+
+### 1. `simple_service`
+
+This example demonstrates the ideal, clean lifecycle of a service using the separated `create` and `start` steps.
+
+**Behavior:**
+1.  Creates a new service definition.
+2.  Starts the newly created service.
+3.  Checks its status to confirm it's running.
+4.  Stops the service.
+5.  Checks its status again to confirm it's stopped.
+6.  Removes the service definition.
+
+**Run it:**
+```sh
+cargo run --example simple_service
+```
+
+### 2. `service_spaghetti`
+
+This example demonstrates how the service manager handles "messy" or improper sequences of operations, showcasing its error handling and robustness.
+
+**Behavior:**
+1.  Creates a service.
+2.  Starts the service.
+3.  Tries to start the **same service again** (which should fail as it's already running).
+4.  Removes the service **without stopping it first** (the manager should handle this gracefully).
+5.  Tries to stop the **already removed** service (which should fail).
+6.  Tries to remove the service **again** (which should also fail).
+
+**Run it:**
+```sh
+cargo run --example service_spaghetti
+```
