To run in background:
./bin/bitmonerod --log-file bitmonerod.log --detach
To list all available options, run `./bin/bitmonerod --help`. Options can be
specified either on the command line or in a configuration file passed by the
`--config-file` argument. To specify an option in the configuration file, add
a line with the syntax `argumentname=value`, where `argumentname` is the name
of the argument without the leading dashes, for example `log-level=1`.
To run in background:
./bin/bitmonerod --log-file bitmonerod.log --detach
To run as a systemd service, copy
[bitmonerod.service](utils/systemd/bitmonerod.service) to `/etc/systemd/system/` and
[bitmonerod.conf](utils/conf/bitmonerod.conf) to `/etc/`. The [example
service](utils/systemd/bitmonerod.service) assumes that the user `bitmonero` exists
and its home is the data directory specified in the [example
config](utils/conf/bitmonerod.conf).

# This is necessary because bitmonerod does not yet support
# writing a PID file, which means systemd tries to guess the PID
# by default, but it guesses wrong (sometimes, depending on
# random timing of events), because the daemon forks twice.
# The ultimate fix is for the daemon to write a PID file, and
# a workaround is to disable the guessing feature in systemd.
