How to restart a process in Ubuntu 17.04?

  • 772

Apparently exec su -l gert -c 'export DISPLAY=:0; /data/location/server/process' method no longer works under Ubuntu 17.04. What is the new method for restarting a process after it dies...

process

  1. Ubuntu 17.04 uses systemd for managing processes that previously were managed in Ubuntu by Upstart.

    Specifically, the systemd systemctl command is now used to start/stop/restart systemd services (e.g., sudo systemctl start dms3client.service). The systemctl command does a bunch more too.

    Here's a great explanation of how to use systemctl right here on askbuntu.com: https://askubuntu.com/a/903360/32664.
