 * Dæmon Processes
-On the Mac, =cron= has been removed and replaced with =LaunchAgent=. I find my [[file:ha-capturing-notes.org::*Push MacOS-Specific Content][ICanHazShortcut]] process pretty simple to start Emacs, so I’m not sure about this dæmon, but …
+According to [[https://medium.com/@nevinvalsaraj/setting-up-emacs-as-a-daemon-in-ubuntu-20-04-6c4f8c441a83][this essay]], we have several ways to launch Emacs as a daemon during startup. Since =systemd= is the =init= daemon in v20+, we register Emacs as a service under =systemd= to be launched during startup. Systemd will monitor this service and restart if the service crashes for any reason. To configure the service, we first create the file =~/.config/systemd/user/emacs.service= and copy the below:

-Verify that the plist file is correct.
+Then run the following in the terminal:
-#+begin_src sh
+#+begin_example
-  plutil -lint ~/Library/LaunchAgents/gnu.emacs.plist
+systemctl enable --user emacs
-#+end_src
+systemctl start --user emacs
+#+end_example
 
-Start, stop and list service.
+Verify that the emacs service is running by using:
-#+begin_src sh
+#+begin_example
-  launchctl load -w /Users/USERNAME/Library/LaunchAgents/gnu.emacs.plist
+systemctl status --user emacs
-  launchctl unload /Users/USERNAME/Library/LaunchAgents/gnu.emacs.plist
+#+end_example
-  launchctl list

+Now, we only use =emacsclient=. We have these terminal alias:
+  - =e=: Open a terminal version
+  - =ee=: Open an Emacs frame
