Hello Jim,
Hello Jeremy , You call a /home/eric/stop_eric.sh in your systemd
procedure , But forgot to insert the contents of the file in your missive .
That's because I never wrote the 'stop_eric.sh' script. Apologies for not
saying so in my posting! The other postings in this discussion have given
me some ideas I might persue but for the time being it's not a critical item
for me.
Regards,
Jeremy Begg

Hi Seth,
Has anyone got a clean solution for running a background SIMH process
that doesn't involve `screen` or `tmux`?
My solution is pretty clean and doesn't require any kind of virtual TTY.
I have SIMH running under Ubuntu Linux 18.04 on an Intel i3 NUC box.
It took a little trial and error to get it all working (mostly due to
Ubuntu's use of 'netplan' and 'systemd') but it works well enough for me.
It's configured so that my SIMH VAX starts up when Linux starts up.
I don't have it configured to shutdown VAX/VMS or SIMH when Linux is
shutting down, but for my purposes it doesn't need to. (Or I just haven't
gotten around to it yet; the machine is only rebooted when I want it to.)
