Systemd service files
From artserver wiki
I decided to write this quick n dirty recipe, as I always have to make a few web searches to remind myself on how to do a Linux systemd service file.
Very basically a service file is a set of instructions on how to execute a script/program. Useful parameters such as when the script should start, what do to if there are errors, etc.
- Location: service files are usually located in /etc/systemd/system/
- extension: have the extension .service
After creating your myservice.service file:
- enable it: sudo systemctl enable myservice.service
- the command with create a symbolic link
- start the service: sudo systemctl start myservice.service
- check its status: sudo systemctl satus myservice.service
If after enabled you make changes to the service file, you will need to sudo systemctl daemon-reload to ingrate the changes.
