Services

Services are files consumed by systemctl.

Install

Prior to the installation of the services, all target/release/ bins must be present in /usr/bin/, a symlink is fine:

$ cd target/release
$ for i in {blinds,lights,hub-event-aggregator,hub-event-automator,lights,nilan,ui,victron,weather,kia,alfen} ; do sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/$i" /usr/bin/$i; done

They must be installed in /etc/systemd/system.

Run

To check a service is active, or to check its status:

$ systemctl is-active <name>
$ systemctl status <name>

To start a service:

$ sudo systemctl start <name>

To stop a service:

$ sudo systemctl stop <name>

To allow the service to start at boot time, run:

$ sudo systemctl enable <name>
