Universal Media Server | Forum

Hi there,

I am running UMS as daemon using screen.
It works, but i bet that's not the correct way to do this. Do you have any suggestion for a nice systemd integration?

I guess you are running Linux.
I use a startup script which is the correct way to go I believe.

I don't use system but I believe the commands might be:
systemctl enable ums@username
systemctl start ums@username
AND THEN TO STOP UMS
systemctl stop ums@username

Alternatively you could see if a bash script works.
This is mine which you could modify (depending on file locations) and I use openrc:

#!/bin/bash
