How to start opensnitch-git

It seems opensnitch-git provide opensnitchd daemon and opensnitch-qt user interface.

I don't understand how to start opensnitchd daemon. Is it systemd related or some other method ?

Thanks

Re: How to start opensnitch-git

Check the list of files provided by that package with

pacman -Ql opensnitch-git

It should ship a .service file somewhere under /usr/lib/systemd.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … sing_units for how to manage systemd services/units.

--edit: It doesn't seem to ship a service file. You may need to write your own (something along the way of this, perhaps?, I don't know the specific requirements of it):

[Unit]
Description=GNU/Linux port of the Little Snitch application firewall

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/opensnitchd

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
