# mv /etc/init.d/_ygpsd.config /etc/init.d/ygpsd.config
2. Reboot the system
# reboot

The GPS daemon provides position, date, and time information from the GPS module.
Basic configuration of the daemon could be handled in its own configuration file (ygpsd.config).
Relevant sections of the configuration file:
Section: Log file path
# The logging information can be written to a log file at the following path
# By default, the path is deactivated because the corresponding line is commented out.
# Max. path length is 255
# If the path is deactivated or no path is set, an error message will be put on stdout.
Log_File /var/log/ygpsd.log
Section: Supervising the GPS daemon
# The GPS daemon can be supervised by a watchdog (provided by the ysysd daemon).
# The time when the watchdog shall be triggered is set by "watchdog_interval".
