Venus OS missing commands

While trying to set up a Raspi4 and Expander Pi board for analog level sensors I tried to check which services were running. Neither systemct1 or services seem to exist as a command in Venus OS3 .2 . Is there a way to install these commands or is there another way to check which services are running?

Venus OS does not use systemd to run services. Rather it uses a system called daemontools:

You can use svstat /service/* to get the status of all services running (or not) on the system.

This gives a good method too.
