Hello Andrew,

For the time being, you may want to comment out any and all Arch Linux and Manjaro related stuff in installinit.sh until proper systemd scripts are created for them.

After reporting to you that the search for Manjaro also needed to be done in installinit.sh, I realized there are no init scripts to be installed, and since
both Manjaro and Arch Linux are systemd based now (as well as others, I'm sure), the current state of both in MBSE are not going to install proper startup scripts.

installinit.sh includes:

cp init.Arch $DISTINIT

but there is no init.Arch in the script directory, so this will not work. Just as well, I'm not even sure Arch Linux supports sysvinit any more unless you go out of your way to make it do so.

So at the moment, you could probably just comment out (or remove) the complete "# Adding scripts for Arch Linux" section in installinit.sh, and everything should still work as expected. Both Arch Linux and Manjaro will still be labeled and installed properly, just without any kind of startup script or service file installed at the moment.

I began working on a little something, but need more time. Until then, the above should be okay - and on both Arch Linux and Manjaro mbtask will need to be run manually by the MBSE admin user. When I get something working as far as systemd goes, I'll let you know.

Regards,
Nick

Noted.

After reporting to you that the search for Manjaro also needed to be
done in installinit.sh, I realized there are no init scripts to be installed, and since both Manjaro and Arch Linux are systemd based now
(as well as others, I'm sure), the current state of both in MBSE are

and everything should still work as expected. Both Arch Linux and
Manjaro will still be labeled and installed properly, just without any kind of startup script or service file installed at the moment.

I need to setup a machine with Arch Linux so I can figure out what is needed in the systemd way of doing things.

I began working on a little something, but need more time. Until then,
the above should be okay - and on both Arch Linux and Manjaro mbtask
will need to be run manually by the MBSE admin user. When I get

Keep in touch here or via netmail.

It's not that big a deal. Just a simple .service file is usually required, although the one I started yesterday failed possibly due to the fact that the MBSE admin user needs to start it, and not root (which I think is default for systemd service files). So I'll just have to look into starting it as a user or
even passing it off to the user once it's started.

Will do.

You can specify the user and group in the .service file:

User=, Group=
Sets the Unix user or group that the processes are executed as, respectively. Takes a single user or group name or ID as argument. If no group is set, the default group of the user is chosen.


Bye, Wilfred.

I was trying to come up with one quickly at the time of the original writing. I
got caught in a snag and stopped before I decided to divulge faulty and/or rushed information without testing, so it would actually be an asset to the software rather than anything else.

When I get a little free time I'll give it another go with a little more patience, rather than trying to whip one up on the spot.

Nick
