While it can +be run as root, it is more secure to run it as an unpriveleged user, so we +run it as user nvidia. Create the nvidia user and group with the following: + + # groupadd -g 365 nvidia + # useradd -u 365 -g 365 -c "Nvidia" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false nvidia + +To activate the daemon, add the following to /etc/rc.d/local: + +# Start the nvidia-persistenced daemon: +if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced start +fi + +and then 'chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced' to make it executable. + +Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: + +# Stop the nvidia-persistenced daemon: +if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced stop +fi + +NOTE: This may not work on all systems.
