Nah, yer fine... I also use a script right now - that checks for mis running already and loads it if not, and a couple other things.

However, the systemd way is pretty neat too - it can test that mis isn't running, keep it up even if it fails and the system doesn't reboot, etc. Theres a lot more baked in that vswitchzero Mystic systemd setup that I referenced - which is why we were talking about running as root or another user. (his method prefers root, and my bbS isn't setup to be run in root - which is why the more topics explaining why scripts and python and dosemu stuff fails when run as root.) :P

My current script works fine;  I was just trying to implement that systemd setup is all. Thx always.
