This is from the first link you have provided: Enable the service by running the following command "sudo systemctl enable yourscriptname.service" Start the service by running the following command "sudo systemctl start yourscriptname.service" If the service enabled and started please check the output of systemctl --failed. The command systemctl status yourscriptname.service should give information even if the service is running. Kind regards, Christoph -- Ist die Katze gesund schmeckt sie dem Hund.
