File locations

The files created by mprime are saved under /home/<user>/.var/app/org.mersenne.mprime/data/, where <user> is your username.

Running as a daemon

with systemd:

WARNING: Currently with this daemon implementation, there's no way to gracefully stop mprime. Stopping this daemon will result in some work lost (before the last checkpoint).

Create a file at /etc/systemd/system/mprime.service with the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Mersenne Primality Tester

[Service]
Type=simple
User=<user>
ExecStart=sh -c 'flatpak run --command=mprime-daemon org.mersenne.mprime 2>&1'
ExecStop=flatpak kill org.mersenne.mprime
KillMode=process
KillSignal=SIGTERM

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace <user> with your username.
Before activating mprime.service, you should run mprime at least once to set your preferences!

Start the service automatically at boot:

systemctl enable mprime.service

Activate the service with:

systemctl start mprime.service

Stop it with:

systemctl stop mprime.service

Look at daemon logs:

journalctl -fu mprime
