example for self-hosted runners in the wild #9015
Conversation
there are probably no examples of self-hosted runners whose service name is `actions.runner.octo-org-octo-repo.runner01.service` outside of octo-org. this change includes a command example that works in the wild.

After some discussion about this internally here at GitHub, I'm going to omit the second part of the changes proposed in this pull request (i.e. the additional journalctl and systemctl commands in the code blocks on lines 70 and 207). Introducing an example org/repo and then using that example throughout the article is consistent with our other docs and hasn't been difficult for readers to switch in their own org/repo names for the example ones (in this case I'll make these changes in this PR so that I can merge the other changes. |

there are probably no examples of self-hosted runners whose service name is
actions.runner.octo-org-octo-repo.runner01.service
outside of octo-org.the other problem with the current docs is the suggestion to use
cat ~/actions-runner/.service
to determine the service name. obviously this only works if the installation path was~/actions-runner/.service
which is only ever going to be coincidentally correct.this change includes a command example that works in the wild and is based on using
systemctl --type=service | grep actions.runner
to determine the service name which is generally going to work (if the user has managed to gt the service running).Why:
