How to get Bit Torrent Sync to auto start in fedora?

Question

I am new to Bit Torrent Sync and Fedora. May I know how can I get BT Sync kicking when my machine start? I am able to sync via the browser client but unable to get it auto start when the machine boot.

Thanks.

There is an excellent guide at the BitTorrent forums. Esentially you create a systemd unit file which handles the startup and shutdown of the BTsync daemon on boot and shutdown.

/etc/systemd/system/btsync@.service:

[Unit]
Description=BitTorrent Sync for %i

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/path/to/btsync --nodaemon --config %h/.sync/sync.conf
WorkingDirectory=%h

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start using: systemctl start [e-mail] Start at boot using: systemctl enable [e-mail]
