How do I specify the monitor mode (CLI argument -m or —monitor) in de commands lines that enable, disable start and stop the OneDrive service. Example would really help. Thanks in advance, |

Dear Alex, thanks for your fast reply.
Apologies for the missing info: Debian 13 (KDE Plasma 6.3.6) as a VM in preparation of ditching Windows for Linux
Of course, I studied your extensive and good documentation but I’m a bit confused:
systemctl --user enable onedrive but how to tell Onedrive to run in -–monitor mode? Or is that the default mode for the service?
systemctl --user start onedrive
and I would like to have the service running that way automatically at boot/login (have automatic login enabled)
I will add sync_list = “True” to the config file. I made a sync_list file
Kind regards,
Hans Troost

To run a systemd service under Debian 13, as your user, you want to use the following commands: To check the status of the service, use: By default, the systemd service runs in
The service will automatically start when you login to your system. To negate that, you need to tell your system to 'linger' user services: This is detailed here: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/usage.md#how-to-start-a-user-systemd-service-at-boot-without-user-login
All you need to do is create the 'sync_list' file. There is nothing else to do. Adding I am unsure where you read that 'help' .. or if that was a hallucination from AI assistance - however please read the documentation and refer to https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/application-config-options.md as your source of truth for configuration options. |
