Run Motion as a Service Debian 11 (JT) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2021 07:39:55 -0500 From: JT <li...@gnipsel.com> To: motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Motion-user] Run Motion as a Service Debian 11 Message-ID: <a7b507f9-eb57-60a6-1049-38f008970...@gnipsel.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed I'm trying to run Motion as a service on Debian 11. I build motion from source and installed with make install. The documents state Motion can be set up to run as a service which means that it will start automatically whenever the computer is started. When Motion is installed from apt or from a deb file, default files are installed which can be easily modified so that Motion starts as a service. If Motion is built directly from source and installed, then these additional files will need to be copied, modified and installed manually from the source and packaging repositories. Well I'll be darned if I can find what files need to be copied, modified and installed manually. There is no file /etc/default/motion on my system so I assume that is one of the files.
