Hello,
I've packaged "simplemonitor".

_Description: Usage of simplemonitor
The simplemonitor package integrates with systemd. Set it up in
/etc/simplemonitor and then use:
sudo systemctl restart simplemonitor

But I wonder of any more standard ways to do that, what other packages
do, etc.
I remember lots of discussion about the question: "should a service/daemon get automatically started on first installation?" I've just searched in Debian Policy but could not find an answer. It this issue still delegated to the package maintainer? (And then the local admin might express preference via some mechanism, iirc...)
Bye,
