How to start plotting after reboot?

[Purple-Tentacle]

I want a machine start plotting after a reboot.
Of course with archiving.

Is it possible?

That's what system service managers are for. You can do it presently kind of and I do intend to make plotman much more oriented in this direction. There are a number of little pieces but we'll get there.

To add to that, there's an issue to track improvements to this area here: #285
@Purple-Tentacle feel free to subscribe to that issue to get updates :)

Could you eloborate on how to do it currently?

[altendky]

plotman plot plots and plotman archive archives. for monitoring, when you run plotman interactive you can disable plot and archive starting by pressing p and a. there's a pr in the works to make command line options so you can launch interactive with them already disabled.

on the system service side, depends what system you are on and what service manager you are using. i don't have a lot of experience on that side.

Debian 10.
A cronjob with @reboot starring a script?
And this should include plotman plot/archive?
