systemd-htop-service

=====================

This is a systemd service to start htop on a virtual terminal

(aka /dev/ttyN).

INTRODUCTION

=====================

This service was developed to add htop to a virtual terminal

using the new systemd service. The default is set to tty12, but

can be modified via YaST /etc/sysconfig editor and changed to 11.

The udev rules are configured to use only these vt's at present.

INSTALLATION

=====================

For openSUSE >= 12.1 only at present via rpm as there are rpm

macros that run to install the sysconfig and systemd service.

There is a simple Makefile included that can be modified for other

distributions.

NOTE: You WILL need to trigger udev before starting the service for

the first time...

udevadm trigger

MODIFYING THE SERVICE

=====================

At present the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/10-tty.rules file is hardcoded to

user htopd and the tty group, also /usr/lib/systemd/system/htop.service

to htopd.

If you want to run as a different user the udev rules file needs to

be manually edited to match the name set in the htop.service file

AND the user needs to be added to the tty group.

You will then need to reload via;

systemctl --system daemon-reload

systemctl restart htop.service

And check all is ok via;

systemctl status htop.service
