On Linux, to run MMDVMHost as a daemon, set "Daemon=1" in the ini file. It is possible to run the MMDVMHost via systemd, if this method is used, then the following does not apply, and Daemon should be set to 0 in the ini file. When Daemon is set, MMDVMHost will attempt to drop privileges to user "mmdvm" and group "mmdvm". If this user and group do not exist on your system, an error will occur and MMDVMHost will not start. To add these users, please do the following from the Linux command line: groupadd mmdvm useradd mmdvm -g mmdvm -s /sbin/nologin usermod mmdvm -G dialout Note, without the last line, MMDVMHost will not be able to open the modem. Also note, when running as a daemon, STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR are closed, so you must use MQTT to capture logging. The paths to the other files (DMRIds, RSSI, etc) should be absolute and not relative as the current working directory is set to "/" when the program is being run as a daemon. Simon - G7RZU
