Hello, just to let people know about fixing this issue.
Just after run systemctl --user enable blugon.service, at reboot, the service didn't start, giving (on systemctl --user status...) this error message telling "start request repeated too quickly". To fix it:

edit the service file (~/.config/systemd///blugon.service) and change the line RestartSec=0 to a slower value ; I put mine to 15 sec (RestartSec=15).

Now everything is working fine!
Thanks jumper for this light and efficient little programm !

Thank you for sharing that.

I guess, that we can also fix that right here for everyone.

I think 15 seconds is a bit too long as a default, so maybe something like 3 seconds would make sense as a default.

I'll also take a look at the options StartLimitIntervalSec and StartLimitBurst.
