Start Glances through Systemd

Create a file called glances.service in the /etc/systemd/system/ folder.

For example, if you want to start a Glances server, edit this file as following:

[Unit]
Description=Glances

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/glances -s
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

For a Glances Web server:

[Unit]
Description=Glances

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/glances -w
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

For an active client exporting stats to a InfluxDB server:

[Unit]
Description=Glances

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/glances --quiet --export-influxdb
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
