Unclear #45

Closed barrychapman closed 4 years ago

barrychapman commented 4 years ago

You say start from client/server home directory? What directory is this? You also state you can use /bin

It is a bit confusing as to where to place these files and where to run them from

stephenh commented 4 years ago

The home directory is a common directory convention on linux, i.e. /home/stephen is mine. ~ is a shortcut for this, so ~/bin means /home/stephen/bin, which is on linux/etc. machines where user-downloaded binaries can go.

On mac on this would be /Users/stephen/ ... and then ... apps? I don't really know.

Basically this means "put the shell script and jar somewhere you can easily run them from".

Happy to accept PRs to make the docs more straightforward.

Thank you! Got it running, I was just vague on what the definition of home was in the context of this app :)

Is there a way to daemonize this? Or run as a service?

stephenh commented 4 years ago

Nope, daemonizing is a good idea, I just haven't gotten around to it; see #19.
