To start coderbot I recommend starting a new screen (run screen bash) and running sudo ./init.py. If for some reason coderbot can’t start then the reason should be reported in the terminal. If coderbot is running successfully it should say “have a nice day ;)”.

A service or daemon is a program that runs in the background and often starts when the system boots.

The script that starts the daemon on boot is located at /etc/init.d/coderbot and a copy of this script is in the repository at ./scripts/coderbot. You may need to run the following commands as root (sudo).

To enable the daemon use update-rc.d coderbot defaults.

To disable the daemon use update-rc.d coderbot remove.

To start/stop/check status of daemon use service coderbot start (replace start with stop or status).
