tota includes a cross-platform service manager. Run once to make the agent start automatically when you log in — no manual tota start needed.
Install
tota service install
Creates a platform-appropriate service unit and enables it:
| Platform | Service type | Location |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | LaunchAgent | ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.tota.agent.plist |
| Linux | systemd user | ~/.config/systemd/user/tota-agent.service |
| Windows | Task Scheduler | Task named TotaAgent |
After installing, tota starts automatically on login. The service auto-restarts on crash.
Uninstall
tota service uninstall
Stops and removes the service unit. Does not delete config or memory.
Status
tota service status
Shows whether the service is enabled and running.
💡
tota up does this for you — If you just want things to work, run tota up. It installs the service (if needed) and starts the daemon in a single command.
