How to Return to Shell?
After firing up MegaFuse manually, it never returns to shell prompt. How can I get it to do this? I am simply left with: http://prntscr.com/enmhl3 hanging in the wind....
Also, wanted to note that using it as a service does not work.... it attempts to restart & restart & restart, and finally errors out with:
Mar 23 14:50:10 hosting systemd[1]: megafuse.service: Start request repeated too quickly. Mar 23 14:50:10 hosting systemd[1]: Failed to start Mount your MEGA cloud storage with fuse.
It is not supposed to return to the prompt, it's a process and it works while it's running (it's not hanging as you think from the screenshot). You have two ways to make it work in the background.
Simple solution (if you are not interested in coming back to the process, just want it to keep running): Megafuse &
Powerful solution (allows you to reconnect to the process if it is interactive): screen Also consider the newer alternative to screen, tmux.
After that you can simply access your mountpoint folder (/media/OffsiteBackups) and do whatever you want.
You may also consider writing a systemd unit file for MegaFuse. Systemd handles background handling, restart-on-failure, and a lot more.
I'm also getting the following error on my systemd service file.
hosting systemd[1]: megafuse.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
