How to Run Process Manager as Super User

  • 772

I am trying to run an API on an Orange Pi. It is running Ubuntu and the API process is running via Node.js Express.

I would like the process to automatically start running when the computer boots up, and I would like it to have sudo permissions.

This process can be done manually with sudo pm2 start process_name, however this is not automatic.

I ran a command sudo chown orangepi:orangepi/.pm2/rpc.sock /home/orangepi/.pm2/pub.sock but I'm not sure if it is behaving properly.

How would I get this process to start when the device is booted?

How do I grant this process permanent sudo permissions?

permissions sudo process

    How would I get this process to start when the device is booted?

    1. create a service (I used pm2.service as example)
    2. place service in /etc/systemd/system/.

    3. enable the service:

      chmod 664 /etc/systemd/system/pm2.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl pm2.service

    If the 3rd command is error free system will load the service when booting.

    How do I grant this process permanent sudo permissions?

    You don't. "sudo" is only for your admin user. Not for systemd as this is done by root.
