Server and processing node as systemd services in linux?

[jrp]

Hi,

I found this article on how to run software as sevices in linux, this looks like exactly the sort of thing that I'm keen to do with both my server and processing node machines. I could go through the instructions listed on that site myself, but I don't know exactly how the software behaves, or what the security implications are for this in detail.

I havn't seen any advice for running metashape in any way other than running it manually at the shell prompt, which works just fine, but requires things like having to manually reset things after a power outage or other system restart.

Has anyone else experimented with this (or other methods), and does anyone have any advice on how to implement this?

Thanks,
JRP
