title: Utility to manage multiple python scripts
body: <p>I saw this post on Medium, and wondered how one might go about managing multiple python scripts.  </p>

  <p>This describes a system where you need to run one or more scripts continuously to catch and react to events in your network.</p>
  
  <p>My question:  Let's say I had multiple python scripts that I wanted to do run while I work on other things.  What approaches are available to manage these scripts?  I have to imagine there is a better way than having a large number of terminal windows running each script individually.</p>
  
  <p>I am coming back to python, and have no formal training in computer programming, so any guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.</p>
