OpenBMC Starting Point

[Samuel Herts]

So if I wanted a c++ script to run on the bmc whenever I desired, how
exactly would I go about implementing it as a module to run? Kind of like
the Phosphor state manager module that the Hello World guide starts on,
specifically, what steps would I need to take or what resources should I
look into for creating my own module that will run when a specific command
is sent, like the systemctl start phosphor.
