On Linux, to run MMDVMHost as a daemon, set "Daemon=1" in the ini file.
|
|
|
|
When this is set, MMDVMHost will attempt to drop privileges to user "mmdvm" and
|
|
group "mmdvm". If this user and group do not exist on your system, an error
|
|
will occur and
|
|
MMDVMHost will not start.
|
|
|
|
To add these users, please do the following from the Linux command line:
|
|
|
|
groupadd mmdvm
|
|
useradd mmdvm -g mmdvm -s /sbin/nologin
|
|
usermod mmdvm -G dialout
|
|
|
|
Note, without the last line, MMDVMHost will not be able to open the modem.
|
|
|
|
Also note, when running as a daemon, STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR are closed, so
|
|
you must use a logfile to capture logging and the logfile entry in the ini file
|
|
must be given a full path as MMDVMHost calls "cd /" when daemonising. The same
|
|
applies to the DMRIds.dat file.
|
|
|
|
Also, please note that the code to drop privileges is currently disabled when
|
|
MMDVMHost is compiled with the HD44780 display as it's currently not possible
|
|
to use this display as a non-root user.
