Frequently Asked Questions








A systemd service is a way to manage and run background processes (daemons) on modern Linux systems. A .service file tells systemd how to start, stop, and manage the process.










1. Save the generated content to a file named your-service-name.service in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory.


2. Reload the systemd daemon to recognize the new service:


sudo systemctl daemon-reload


3. Enable the service to start on boot:


sudo systemctl enable your-service-name.service


4. Start the service immediately:


sudo systemctl start your-service-name.service










This line in the [Install] section ensures that if you enable the service, it will be started automatically when the system boots into a multi-user graphical or command-line environment.
