mark2 init.d/systemd script #75

Closed snuufix closed 7 years ago

snuufix commented 7 years ago

Hello, first of all, thank you for this wrapper, it definetly is THE best one. But I'm curious why there are no linux service/startup scripts for it? It would seem a quite requested feature but my searches did not find anything useful. I can write my own, but it would definetly be worse and more buggy than if someone who knows the internals of mark2 would do it.

This is in fact really easy to do. I got this from Vemacs's guide:

Run: sudo nano /etc/crontab

Add this to the end, obviously customizing your server location and username: @reboot <username> mark2 start /home/<username>/spigot

Save the file, and that should be covered. If you really need to test it, you can attempt to restart the server: sudo reboot

Thank you @dwaynehulsman. I'm familiar with crontabs but didn't thought of this easy option. :D The most genious things are always simple. I also created a restart script that will deal even with frozen mark2 each day at 6am.
