termy-systemd-setup

Name

termy-systemd-setup - Enable user systemd services for termy-server(1)

Synopsis

termy-systemd-setup [options]

Description

Note

This command is deprecated. Please use termy-setup(1) instead.

termy-systemd-setup is an interactive shell script that essentially runs the following commands:

systemctl --user enable termy-server.socket
systemctl --user start termy-server.socket
loginctl enable-linger
kill `head -1 /tmp/termy-server$UID/pid`

This ensures that the user's persistent instance of termy-server(1) will keep running even when the user is logged out. This is only applicable on Linux systems that run systemd user session managers with login sessions controlled by systemd-logind(8). On such systems, this script (or the above commands) should be run for each user that will be using termy-server(1).

Important

These commands, particularly loginctl, must be run from within a fully formed systemd login session. Shells launched via sudo(8) or su(1) do not always meet this requirement, nor do terminals run under an existing persistent user server (transient session servers, however, are OK). When in doubt, use ssh or machinectl login to log in as the user and run the script from there.

Options

--server-pid pid

The pid of the user's existing persistent user server, which will be killed. If not provided, the script will read the pid from /tmp/termy-server$UID/pid if present. Otherwise, no processes will be killed.

--enable-linger

Just run loginctl enable-linger. The script will check for the XDG_SESSION_ID variable as an indicator of whether a fully formed systemd login session exists.
