• aprx start at boot

    From MJ Inabnit@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 2 02:50:01 2021
    Greetings folks,

    I have aprx installed (sudo apt-get install aprx) and started it manually '/etc/init.d/aprx start'. All worked wonderfully and config is solid.
    After I finished with an update, I rebooted the computer and that's when I realized aprx didn't automatically restart. I searched online for startup instructions and found I needed to modify /etc/default/aprx:
    #
    # Additional options that are passed to the Daemon.
    #
    STARTAPRX="yes"
    DAEMON_OPTS=""

    However, this isn't working. What step am I missing?

    Hi there!

    Have you looked at using systemd to enable and then start the application?

    The below commands are run as root:

    `# systemctl enable aprx` # This will ensure it starts at boot
    `# systemctl start aprx` # this will start it now

    Be sure to double check the config in /etc/aprx.conf (I think) - we had a complaint from the server admins that there were a lot of connections coming from a N0CALL-1, which was the previous default config, which is why APRX now doesn't automatically
    start on boot!

    If you need anything else, send another mail or come say hi in irc!

    Thanks,

    We should drop the /etc/default/aprx file or place a comment in there
    that it's only relevant for sysvinit.

    yeah we can raise that as a bug.

    Jaye asked in irc about updating the manpage to instruct how to systemd, donfede suggested maybe it'd be better placed in a Readme.debian - I was travelling this weekend and didn't have much time to think about it, but I think there's probably merit on
    documenting it somwhere for users.

    Any suggestions?

    Probably better README.Debian. (But other people might be looking in
    other places?)

    I would lean on adding this to the man page.

    Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    “But the plans were on display…”
    “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.”
    “With a flashlight.”
    “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
    “So had the stairs.”
    “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
    “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the
    door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
