== Philosophy ==

* ease of use
* pass off project maitinance

== working on sally ==

All members have shell and admin access on sally.

ssh [email protected]
sudo uname -a

== Create service environment ==

=== Create a system account for your service ===

sudo useradd strup -b /srv/ -m -r

=== Working With SystemD ===

Create a unit file:
/etc/systemd/system/strup.service

<pre>
[Unit]
Description=Strup IRC bot

[Service]
Type=simple
User=strup
Group=strup
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ircbot
WorkingDirectory=/srv/strup/

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</pre>

==== start service, check for log output, etc ====

sudo systemctl start strup.service
sudo systemctl status strup.service


To follow log output:

sudo journalctl -u strup.service -f


Initially, in my example, I see <quote>ircbot: /home/PS1/hef/projects/strup/irc/main.cpp:45: int main(int, char**): Assertion `file.is_open()' failed.</quote> because I havn't created a file yet.

==== working with service files ====

If you tried to see your service user's home directory earlier, you may have noticed it didn't work. switch to your service accounts users.

sudo su strup
cd

My example requires a file from project gutenberg.

wget http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11/pg11.txt

Don't forget to switch back to your normal user when done

exit


=== Enabling Your Service ===

After verifying that the service is starting and running correctly:

sudo systemctl status strup

Enable the service

sudo systemctl enable strup


The service is now configured to start when the machine reboots.
