Linux newbie here with only systemd experience prior to discovering Artix :)
I just installed expressvpn but am unable to start the service:
h31vm:[user]:/$ sv status
usage: sv [-v] [-w sec] command service ...
h31vm:[user]:/$ sudo sv expressvpn restart
[sudo] password for user:
fail: restart: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist
I searched around these forums and found a user with a similar problem:
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,2838.msg18565.html#msg18565
but am a little nervous to implement the instructions considering that post is for mogodb not expressvpn.
A little assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I also had issues running some other apps I installed. In the end I just need things to work so I reverted back to openSUSE.
From what I can tell there isn't a service file for express vpn for runit (there is one for openRC, but it's on the aur, so probably ) so unless you wrote it yourself, you can't have possibly linked the service file to /run/runit/service.
The syntax for sv is:
sudo sv restart expressvpn
And one last thing, in runit the 'restart' command isn't like the systemD one, it
only restarts the service, it doesn't start the service if it isn't already running.
Wait you're right, no idea what I was thinking there , guess its a lesson about answering technical posts on 4 hours sleep.
I take it back.
Haha np, take some rest ;)
