Hi!

 

I have been using procServ for a while to run my IOC’s in the background. There are now too many and I want to learn how to use manage-procs, part of procServUtils to create and start processes and configure the conserver.cf file to view those processes from conserver. Here’s what I’ve done:

 

-Installed procServ, and included the procServUtils in the build

-Installed conserver

-Set up an IOC that I have tested can start from the command line, or with procServer

 

If I go to the directory containing the st.cmd file and type:

 

manage-procs add -P 7010 -A -f sampleIOC1 ./st.cmd

 

I expect the IOC to start and be accessible on telnet port 7010. Instead I get the following message which I don’t understand:

Created symlink /home/emil/.config/systemd/user/multi-user.target.wants/procserv-sampleIOC1.service → /home/emil/.config/procServ.d/procserv-sampleIOC1.service.

Created symlink /home/emil/.config/systemd/user/procserv-sampleIOC1.service → /home/emil/.config/procServ.d/procserv-sampleIOC1.service.

Failed to start procserv-sampleIOC1.service: Unit procserv-sampleIOC1.service has a bad unit file setting.

See user logs and 'systemctl --user status procserv-sampleIOC1.service' for details.

 

If I look in that file, I get the following:

 

cat /home/emil/.config/procServ.d/procserv-sampleIOC1.service

 

[Unit]

Description=procServ for sampleIOC1

If I look at the systemd process that failed to start I get:

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks,
