# Hubot as a Service

A systemd service file to start Hubot. Handles reboots and crashes.

###### Getting Started

1. Set ENV variables and location/user in the service file.

2. Place in `/etc/systemd/system`

3. To load the service file: `systemctl daemon-reload`

4. To start the service: `service hubot start`

5. Verify Hubot is active in Slack

###### Viewing Console Output

Hubot's console output is directed to `~/Logs/hubot.log` by default. To change this location, edit the `ExecStart` entry (line 23).

The log is cleared each time the service is ran. If you want to keep a running log, change `>` to `>>` in the `ExecStart` entry (line 23).

###### Updating

To update the service file ---

1. Stop the Hubot service: `service hubot stop`

2. Copy over the new service file or edit the existing one.

3. Reload it: `systemctl daemon-reload`

4. Start it: `service hubot start`

5. Re-verify Hubot is active in Slack

###### Restarting Hubot

To restart Hubot: `service hubot restart`

###### Notes

ENV Variables should not include any quotes or escaping (Correct Example: `Environment=HUBOT_DARK_SKY_DEFAULT_LOCATION=90210`)
