Hi there,

I try to run your raspberry-instock-check as a service on my system but sadly I am not successful in doing so. It seems like when running as a service it cannot write its output to tty. Have you ever tried to run it as a service and could share how you managed to do so?

Thank you!
Keep up the excellent work!

I use PM2.

it cannot write its output to tty

That's weird, it only uses normal console.log, so shouldn't cause any issues?

Got it working.... the trick was to specify the working directory in the system unit file:

[Unit]
Description=rpicheck
After=network-online.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/raspberry-instock-check
ExecStart=/home/pi/raspberry-instock-check/rpicheck.sh
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Ticket can be closed, thanks!
