Setting Up Arc as a Linux System Service

Running Arc as a Linux system service using systemd ensures Arc starts automatically on server boot and remains available after restarts.

Prerequisite

Systemd must be installed on the host. See: freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd

Step 1: Create a systemd Service Unit File

Create a service unit file pointing to the Arc binary. The example below assumes Arc is installed under /opt/cubewisecode/arc/ and places the unit file at /etc/systemd/system/arc.service:

[Unit] Description=Arc for TM1 After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/opt/cubewisecode/arc/arc_linux64 Type=simple [Install] WantedBy=default.target

Update ExecStart to point to the actual path of your Arc binary.

Step 2: Enable the Service

Enable Arc to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl enable arc.service

Step 3: Start, Stop, and Check Status

Action

Command

Action

Command

Start Arc

sudo systemctl start arc

Stop Arc

sudo systemctl stop arc

Check status

sudo systemctl status arc

When stopped, the status will show as inactive.

Result

Once configured as a systemd service, Arc will:

  • Start automatically when the server boots

  • Remain available even after a server restart

  • Be manageable via standard systemctl commands
