Set up auto-start

Maldet's monitor mode is designed to run interactively or via cron. To run it as a service, you can create a systemd service.

Example systemd service:



sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/maldet-monitor.service



Add:



[Unit]
Description=Maldet Monitoring Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/maldet/maldet --monitor
Restart=always
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target



Enable and start:



sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable maldet-monitor
sudo systemctl start maldet-monitor



Final check:

    Ensure Maldet's configuration is correct.
    Run sudo maldet --monitor manually to see if it starts without errors.
    Create a systemd service as shown above for persistent monitoring.
