Guide to boot client and use specific remote device with systemd

Submitted by burre on #1

Hi,

Is there any guide on how to have Linux console client start on boot and use specific device. I have a license so I am able to run as a deamon. In my specific case i use ubuntu server with systemd.

Thanks in advance

Mikael

You could use a modified version of this script ( https://www.virtualhere.com/oem_faq ) , see section "For systemd based systems (e.g Beaglebone):"

under the ExecStart section change to

ExecStart=/your/path/vhclientx86_64

That should start it on boot. Now to automatically use a device you should run the client again like this (Using the API)

./vhclientx86_64 -t "LIST" to get the device listed
then do
./vhclientx86_64 -t "AUTO USE DEVICE,<address found from LIST command>" to automatically use it from now on
