By default the simp-console RPM creates a user called simp-console, and sets permissions on its default files based on the SIMP Console user. Commands for SIMP Console should be run by the simp-console user.
There is also a Puppet module available for management of the simp-console service and configuration.
To run simp-console
from the command line run:
sudo -u simp-console simp-console
The simp-console RPM sets up a systemd unit file on EL7, or a sysvinit service file on EL6. You’ll need to enable the service, then start it.
systemctl enable simp-console
systemctl start simp-console
