[Users] How to start ser on boot? how to monitor it?

[Cesc]

Hi all,

Thanks for the responses. It seems that the ser part is covered well,
though i need also to monitor sems ... i could simply monitor by pid
or by sending some command via the fifo/unixsock and check the reply
... Anyone doing something like this?

Regards,

Cesc
