I installed the smuxi-engine package on my Ubuntu 14.04 server which contains the smuxi-server binary. But I do not see instructions anywhere on configuring it to run as a service.

Is there a way to do this?

  • Create an upstart configuration file:

    sudo nano /etc/init/smuxi-server.conf

    start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

exec /usr/bin/smuxi-server

  • Now, smuxi-server will start on boot and you can control as any service (upstart job).

    sudo service smuxi-server [start|stop|restart|status]
sudo [start|stop|restart|status] smuxi-server

  • That was the minimum configuration, To learn about available options see Upstart Intro, Cookbook and Best Practises

    I have a pending edit, the stop on runlevel should be 016 not 06
