<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Norm,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'd suggest starting direwolf via
systemd - that's how Linux services are run, monitored and
managed.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I wrote down some (very) brief notes on
how to set up a systemd service for direwolf the other day, see <a

hand sorting it out.</div>

and assured me that the new
crontab had been installed. Now at reboot, quick as a flash,
nothing happens.
No error message. Nada. Almost as if the cron job isn’t being
run... or read...
or something. I know the command line works, that’s how I’m
starting it at the
moment.</p>
