[OZAPRS] Direwolf on RPi

[Josh VK2HFF]

Hi Norm,
I'd suggest starting direwolf via systemd - that's how Linux services
are run, monitored and managed.
I wrote down some (very) brief notes on how to set up a systemd service
for direwolf the other day, see
http://aprs.vk2hff.ampr.org/direwolf-systemd.html
Happy to help off list if you need a hand sorting it out.
