#Profile-sync-daemon
# Profile-sync-daemon
Profile-sync-daemon (psd) is a tiny pseudo-daemon designed to manage your browser's profile in tmpfs and to periodically sync it back to your physical disc (HDD/SSD). This is accomplished via a symlinking step and an innovative use of rsync to maintain back-up and synchronization between the two. One of the major design goals of psd is a completely transparent user experience.

##Good Advice
## Good Advice
Always backup your browser profile(s) before using psd for the first time.

##NOTE FOR VERSION 6
## NOTE FOR VERSION 6
My desktop distro (Arch) switched to systemd a while ago and other big ones (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu) have followed suite. With the release of psd version 6.x I will no longer be supporting alternative init systems such as upstart and openrc. It is too complex for me to maintain and test multiple configurations on non-native init systems for me.

Also of note for version 6.x is that no longer does psd run in as a system service. It now runs as a user service.
