Install the HRM daemon

The HRM daemon consists of two parts, the actual queue manager (a PHP process) and a shell-based wrapper in $HRM_BIN/hrm_queuemanager that prepares the environment, checks the config, launches the queue manager and cleans up after the process has terminated.

The configuration file for the HRM daemon is /etc/hrm.conf (see Edit hrm.conf)

Warning

You should never start the PHP process directly as unpredicted effects will happen, in worst case including damage to the HRM database.

Depending on whether your Linux installation is using a “classical” System-V like init system (including upstart) or the more modern systemd, you will need to follow different instructions. Please note that systemd is the default in recent versions of Ubuntu and Fedora, as well as its close relatives Debian and CentOS/RHEL.

• Install the HRM daemon on System-V-like init systems
• Install the HRM daemon as a systemd service
