Autostarting software with systemd - maemo.org

iltsu | # 1 | 2014-01-02, 01:44 | Report

I installed btsync to my phone, it runs fine but can't get it starting with systemd.

Code:

[root@localhost system]# cat btsync.service
[Unit]
Description=BTSync
After=network.target

[Service]
User=nemo
ExecStart=/home/nemo/btsync

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

systemctl start btsync.service doesn't give any error.

What does systemctl status btsync.service say?

To autostart at boot

Code:

systemctl enable btsync.service

Well, it doesn't still work. I think there is something wrong with that script.

PIDFile must be the same as pid_file in btsync.config or storage_path in btsync.config must be "/home/nemo/.config/btsync".
# systemctl enable btsync.service
also works fine.
