Hello Shurato!

I like to be able to start/stop/restart MIS, watch output and status etc., so I prefer a systemd service. =)

By the way, for removing busy files before starting MIS (e.g. on boot), check './mis poll killbusy all', which will do this for you.

For a systemd service, one can e.g. add:

ExecStartPre=-/mystic/mis poll killbusy all
ExecStopPost=-/mystic/mis poll killbusy all

....to the [Service] stanza of the systemd service file.

Best regards
