# Arch Linux:
# The user and group must be the same. Change all 4 at once. Don't pick a system defined user like uucp or http.
# To change the username (and group)
#   systemctl stop newrelic-sysmond.service
#   # Change the 4 names and groups in the service file to the new username
#   systemctl daemon-reload
#   userdel 'olduser' # if it's not being used for something else
#   groupdel 'olduser' # if it's not being used for something else
#   rm -rf '/.olduser' # if there's nothing in here of importance
#   newrelic-sysmond-inst install # to create new user, group, and to chown folders
#   systemctl start newrelic-sysmond.service
#   systemctl status newrelic-sysmond.service
#   ps -ef | grep sysmond

# If you uninstall another New Relic package and find that the user and group have disappeared
# simply run: newrelic-sysmond.inst install
# or just upgrade the package
