Overview
This article describes the procedure to configure an arbitrary service myservice to be managed by systemd. It includes the creation of corresponding unit file and systemd configuration to start/stop the service automatically at boot/shutdown.
Important Note
This procedure was not tested step-by-step. When I have a concrete case that can be used for testing, revisit and update.
Create the Unit File
Create the /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service unit file. For more details on the location of the unit files, see [[]].
touch /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service
