Hi Andrew,
> Has anybody produced a systemd unit file for running the caRepeater?
Nope. But something along the following lines should get you started:

[Unit]
Description=EPICS CA Repeater
Requires=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/caRepeater
Restart=always
User=carepeater

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Are you suggesting to replace the caRepeater autostart functionality by
systemd's socket activation in the long run?

Cheers,

Martin
