I understand there would be more efficient ways (or mistakes in this guide), keen to get your feedback.
I’ll admit this is my first attempt to get a user service working
@nevj just tracing my steps below:
Step 1: You need to update your user $PATH$ in order to be able to 66 user services.
For now lets just update your bashrc file:
nano ~/.bashrc
go to lines 115-116 & replace them with the below contents
echo $PATH | grep -Eq “(^|:)/sbin(:|)” || PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/lib/execline/bin:/usr/lib/execline/bin:/usr/libexec
echo $PATH | grep -Eq “(^|:)/usr/sbin(:|)” || PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/lib/execline/bin:/usr/lib/execline/bin:/usr/libexec
Step 2
Create frontend /etc/66/service/spice-vdagentd with contents
[main]
@type=classic
@description=“spice-vdagentd daemon”
@version=0.0.1
@user=(root)
[start]
@execute=(
execl-toc -d /run/spice-vdagentd -m 0755
/usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd ${Args}
)
[environment]
Args=-x -d
& start with
sudo 66 start spice-vdagagentd
Step 3
Create your user scandir & start it:
66 scandir create
66 scandir start
Step 4
Create frontend ~/.66/service/spice-vdagent with below contents (substitute @user with your username):
[main]
@type=classic
@description=“spice-vdagent daemon”
@version=0.0.1
@user = ( antix )
[start]
@execute=(
/usr/bin/spice-vdagent -x
)
& start as user with
66 start spice-vdagent
Step 5 (optional)
Create tree called spice-tree & add spice-vdagent to it.
66 -t spice-tree start spice-vdagent
