How to run a script as a service in UBUNTU

Question

I have a script which normally i run using ./myscript.sh(contain java run command) on linux. Now i want to make it as a service so it run automatically after machine restart

Answer 1

You need to write systemd service file.

Simplest script looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Virtual Distributed Ethernet

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/YOUR_SCRIPT

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Also you need: systemctl daemon-reload after creating new service.
