Introduction

How to run a script or executable file as a service

First, create a service unit by creating this file :

/lib/systemd/system/xxx.service (Most of OS)

Then, enable the service :

  • chmod 644 xxx.service
  • systemctl enable|disable xxx.service
  • systemctl start|stop|status xxx.service

If you modified the service file, issue this command to take modifications in account :

  • systemctl daemon-reload xxx.service
