example unit file to tell systemd to start a shell script at boot
Place the unit service file in /etc/systemd/system (or your systemd unit file
search path if different) and the do the following:
systemctl enable example.service
In case your unit file is located located somewhere else, you may do the following: (I do not recommed this)
systemctl link /path/to/example.service
Do note that here you have to give the full path and not just the unit file name.
- Make sure your shell script is executable. (
chmod +x) - Make sure your shell script begins with a sheband (
#!/bin/bash)
