# This shell script will launch the 'Multi Relay Chat' python script. It is intended to be called #
# via a forked systemd .service file. The script will check that mrc_client.py is not already #
# running then will launch it. To avoid problems, it should be launched using the same user that #
# owns the mystic install directory. If executing manually, use 'sudo -u username' or ensure you #
# are logged into the terminal as the user that owns the mystic directory. In a systemd .service #
# file, you should use the 'User=' option in the [Service] section. The script will exit with an #
# appropriate error code to indicate whether is was successful or not. This script is indended to #
# work only with Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian and other debian based distributions. #
