Instructions
This was tested on Ubuntu 18.04 but should work in every distro with systemd. Check your distro docs to be sure.
Be sure to have
screeninstalled on your systemEnable lingering for your user with:
loginctl enable-lingerCreate the
.config/systemd/userdirectory, either manually or by running the following command:systemctl --user enable systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer && systemctl --user disable systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timerEnter the
.config/systemd/userdirectory with:cd ~/.config/systemd/userDownload the user unit (replacing <botname>_screen_user.service with your bot name) with:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/PeGaSuS-Coder/177325c0cb14564bc45a7ba1885d9862/raw/1eaa42a3a22058ee81c37871de748d76bf7e8ede/eggdrop_screen_user.service -O <botname>_screen_user.serviceEdit the user unit to fit your install
Reload the user systemd daemon (so your new user unit is loaded) with:
systemcl --user daemon-reloadStart the bot with:
systemctl --user start <botname>_screen_user.serviceStop the bot with:
systemctl --user stop <botname>_screen_user.serviceRestart the bot with:
systemctl --user restart <botname>_screen_user.serviceEnable the bot to start automatically after a system reboot/restart with:
systemctl --user enable <botname>_screen_user.service
