Steps for setting up Script as a Service to enable autorun on Lunix Systems

  • After cloning this repo, open the script messaging.py and enter your email credentials to enable email notification

  • For simplicity sake, copy the folder to /usr/bin after editing messaging.py

  • Create a service script using the command: sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/interface.service

  • Add the following scripts to the file (interface.service), save and exit the nano editor using [CTRL-X], [Y] then [ENTER].:

    [Unit] Description=My Script Service After=multi-user.target

    [Service] Type=idle ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/interphase/interface.py > /usr/bin/interphase/logs.txt 2>&1

    [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

  • Change the permission on the service file to read only using the command: sudo chmod 664 /lib/systemd/system/interface.service

Configuring Systemd (Run the next lines)

  • Run this command to reload daemon: sudo systemctl daemon-reload

  • Enable the service by running this command: sudo systemctl enable interface.service

  • finally reboot your system by running this command: sudo reboot

  • Afterwards, check status of service using the command: sudo systemctl status interface.service

Note: When all is setup properly, the status should be active and running
