Run WeTTY as a service daemon

WeTTY can be run as a daemon on your service init confs and systemd services are bundled with the npm package to make this easier.

init.d

$ yarn global add wetty
$ sudo cp ~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/wetty/conf/wetty.conf /etc/init
$ sudo start wetty

systemd

$ yarn global add wetty
$ cp ~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/wetty/conf/wetty.service  ~/.config/systemd/user/
$ systemctl --user enable wetty
$ systemctl --user start wetty

This will start WeTTY on port 3000. If you want to change the port or redirect stdout/stderr you should change the last line in wetty.conf file, something like this:

exec sudo -u root wetty -p 80 >> /var/log/wetty.log 2>&1

Systemd requires an absolute path for a unit's WorkingDirectory, consquently $HOME will need updating to an absolute path in the wetty.service file.
