Blog post on setting up EMSRV as a service on Ubuntu 18.04

I've written a little post on how to get EMSRV running as a daemon/service on Ubuntu 18.04   (alll 64 bits) .

If you know something about systemd, this is boring stuff.

But if you don't (like me) and/or had an Ubuntu 14.04 machine running some older 32 bits emsrv on it, things have changed a little. You may save an hour or two when following this tiny tutorial.

Anyways: here it is: <a href="https://joachimtuchel.wordpress.com/2020/03/14/installing-emsrv-as-a-daemon-on-ubuntu-18-04/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href=&#39;https://www.google.com/url?q\x3dhttps%3A%2F%2Fjoachimtuchel.wordpress.com%2F2020%2F03%2F14%2Finstalling-emsrv-as-a-daemon-on-ubuntu-18-04%2F\x26sa\x3dD\x26sntz\x3d1\x26usg\x3dAFQjCNFaoHvJek1s-XKCfk5qxzh9DHJikQ&#39;;return true;" onclick="this.href=&#39;https://www.google.com/url?q\x3dhttps%3A%2F%2Fjoachimtuchel.wordpress.com%2F2020%2F03%2F14%2Finstalling-emsrv-as-a-daemon-on-ubuntu-18-04%2F\x26sa\x3dD\x26sntz\x3d1\x26usg\x3dAFQjCNFaoHvJek1s-XKCfk5qxzh9DHJikQ&#39;;return true;">https://joachimtuchel.wordpress.com/2020/03/14/installing-emsrv-as-a-daemon-on-ubuntu-18-04/

Hi Joachim,

Great post! Thanks for sharing. 

One small question, is that line:

ExecStart=/usr/local/VASmalltalk/9.2.1x64/bin/emsrv

your final/production one?  Or do you normally add more parameters? For example, I think it's better logging into its own log rather than stdout etc

Best, 

Mariano

I've heard of people giving up reading my posts before they are at least three days old for a good reason...

I was so excited that I got this systemd thing set up that I completely forgot to mention that what I show is not a good idea as it runs emsrv as root. So I added a few sentences to the post. Feel free to take a second look ;-)
