@jellysheep OK, here is what I have done: 1. Added a `brscan-skey.service` file in `/usr/lib/systemd/user/brscan-skey.service` so you can start via `systemctl --user`. 2. Created a `brscan-skey` user during installation and made the system-wide `brscan-skey.service` run as this user. This allows more fine-grained control over the permissions that the daemon has in cases where it is not possible to run on a per-user basis, e.g. when using this program on a scan server. Please let me know if everything works for you.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm sorry I expressed myself in an ambiguous way. The "user" and "group" field values just were examples, and depend on each system's configuration. You would have to adapt the values to your system settings (if your username is "foo" you have to put "foo" in the systemd service file, or generally use "1000" and hope that all users use this UID, which is not portable). I did not know how to run a systemd service as a specific user without these fields, however. After a look at [1] apparently you can just omit the "user" and "group" fields, and install the service file to /usr/lib/systemd/user/brscan-skey.service instead of /usr/lib/systemd/system/brscan-skey.service, so you can start (or enable) it like that, as a regular user without sudo: $ systemctl --user start brscan-skey [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User

@jellysheep Done, apologies for the delay in getting around to it. Let me know if you have any other issues or suggestions.

Hi, it is great that this tool can be started using systemd now, thanks! Could you please update the [Service] section so that it starts as regular user, and does not save files as root? Like this: [Service] User=admin Group=users ...

A note to any watchers that I've uploaded a new version containing a systemd file "brscan-skey.service" which can be use to start/enable this tool more conveniently than before. I've also written some general documentation about how to use this tool in the wiki. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sane#Scan-key-tool

Updated for version 0.2.4-1.

I think that's occurring because you're pre-upgrade version was from before Brother's move from /usr/local to /opt. I've uploaded a new tarball that should avoid this for future upgraders from pre-0.2.3, and, dk0r, any files in /usr/local/Brother/sane/script which may be lingering you can safely delete.
