Play with the service

Try out Scriptify with a pre-installed demo service.

Demo Setup​

Open two terminals.

In the first terminal, watch the output file:

touch /tmp/tryme.txt
tail -f /tmp/tryme.txt

In the second terminal, install and start the demo service:

sudo scriptify install --template=systemd tryme \
    --class "\\ByJG\\Scriptify\\Sample\\TryMe::process" \
    --bootstrap "vendor/autoload.php" \
    --rootdir "./"

sudo systemctl start tryme

If everything is working correctly, you'll see lines being added to the first terminal continuously.

Managing the Demo Service​

Stop the service:

sudo systemctl stop tryme

Check service status:

sudo systemctl status tryme

Remove the service:

sudo scriptify uninstall tryme

What's Happening?​

The TryMe::process method writes timestamps to /tmp/tryme.txt each time it runs. When installed as a systemd service with the --daemon flag, it runs continuously in the background.
