IPTSD and Runit

Hi, has anyone installed the iptsd touchscreen with runit?

New Artix install on a Surface Pro 7 including the SP-specific kernal. It all works as expected but I can't get runit to start the touchscreen service.
Followed the example here: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3407.msg22101.html#msg22101.
It can be started manually but only as root, 'permission denied' as user.

Could anyone point me in a direction to find the problem?

Where exactly are you stuck?

Thanks for the response!
I've set up a service as described in the link but it doesn't start on it's own. I don't know where to go from there. Is there a bootlog for runit that might give a clue as to why it fails?

Does the iptsd executable exist in the PATH?
Have you followed @capezotte 's advice on the thread you pointed?
Is the run script executable?
Have you linked your service directory to the appropriate runsvdir?

No but issues on runit are usually pretty simple to debug since it works in a really simple manner

Yes to all the above.
iptsd lives in /usr/bin, and

ls -alF /etc/runit/sv/iptsd:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   29 Aug 11 03:24 run*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   18 Aug 11 03:25 service -> /run/runit/service/

cat /etc/runit/sv/iptsd/run
#!/bin/sh
exec iptsd -n 2>&1

I think you got it backwards.

You're supposed to link /etc/runit/sv/iptsd to /run/runit/service (creating /run/runit/service/iptsd).

Not /run/runit/service to /etc/runit/sv/iptsd.
