Include a systemd.service for pcm-sensor-server

[sscargal]

In my blog post How To Monitor Persistent Memory Performance on Linux using PCM, Prometheus, and Grafana, I created a systemd.service to start and stop the pcm-sensor-server. It would be helpful to bundle this service with the tool.

Create a PCM-Sensor-Server Systemd Service

To run pcm-sensor-server as a systemd service, you need to create a service file, /etc/systemd/system/pcm-sensor-server.service, with the following content. Make any necessary changes for your environment.

$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/pcm-sensor-server.service
[Unit]
Description=Process Counter Monitor (PCM) Sensor Service
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/pcm-sensor-server

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload systemd daemon configuration.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Start and Enable the pcm-sensor-service service to run at boot time.

$ sudo systemctl start pcm-sensor-server
$ sudo systemctl enable pcm-sensor-server

Confirm the service is running

$ systemctl status pcm-sensor-server

Sounds good to me. @opcm and @MarkovaMaria is there a way to automatically adjust installation path with the cmake framework in the service file by using it as a template or so?

I think it can be considered.
