When creating applications that you’d like to run over a continuous period of time, you’re eventually going to need to worry about timing, system integration, and startup/exit behavior, but while creating your own methods to do so I’m sure you’ll learn a lot about the Linux operating system, but often times its a bit more work than one would like just to get a simple application running. For this tutorial I’m going to show you how I created a service to run my Eva Unit-01 discord bot. Eva is a python script that runs out of a virtual environment. I would like for it to be run on startup with any issues or output logged to the systemd journal.
