Issue/Introduction

How to configure NetOps Spectrum non-root installation to have sradmin, processd and SDC services automatically start after system reboot.

Resolution

These changes also apply in a similar way to the sdmconnector.service and the processd.service. All of them are located in the user's .config home directory for systemd. 
A sample output will be listed in Additional Information below:

1) edit sradmin.service and do the modifications as below:
~~~
[Unit]
Modify this line as below "SourcePath=/sw/SPECTRUM/SRAdmin/sradmin.sh"
SourcePath=/sw/SPECTRUM/SRAdmin

Add and update the below content under [Service] section in the same file,

[Service]

TimeoutSec=0
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "/sw/SPECTRUM/SRAdmin/sradmin.sh start"
ExecStop=/bin/bash -c "/sw/SPECTRUM/SRAdmin/sradmin.sh stop"
Restart=always
RestartSec=60

Change the WantedBy field also as below,

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

2) Re-enable the sradmin.service as below,

$ systemctl --user disable sradmin.service
$ systemctl --user daemon-reload
$ systemctl --user enable sradmin.service

3) Check if you are able stop and start the service manually.

4) Then reboot the system and verify that after reboot the service is up and running.
