This holds certain attributes that systemd can use to locate and launch the program, and to define some of its behavior. sudo cp htg.sh /usr/local/binĪnd we need to make it executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/htg.shĮach program that is started by systemd has a definition file, called a service unit file. We’ll copy the script to the /usr/local/bin directory. So, this script writes a timestamped message to the journal once per minute. After 60 seconds the loop is repeated.This is formatted into a message and sent to the journal. The TIMESTAMP variable is set to the current date and time.They’re not important errors or warnings. We’re using the -p (priority) option to indicate that our messages are for information (info) only.
Entries to the journal are given a priority. The two echo lines are piped through systemd-cat, a program that takes the output from a program and sends it to the journal.The script doesn’t do a whole lot, but there are a few points worth noting. #!/bin/bashĮcho "htg.service: # Starting #" | systemd-cat -p infoĮcho "htg.service: timestamp $" | systemd-cat -p info Copy and paste the following text into the editor. This tutorial uses the Gedit text editor, but you can use whatever text editor you prefer. We’ll create a simple script, called “htg.sh”. We need to have a program that systemd will launch. Controllable using systemctl, the control interface for systemd.Integrated with systemd through a service unit file.To tick all the boxes, our service must be: In this article, we’ll create an example service. The “d” at the end of systemd stands for daemon. Programs that run in the background are called daemons or services. Every other process running in your computer is started by systemd, or by a process that systemd has already started.
systemd is the first process to run at startup. The programs that are launched at startup are controlled by systemd, the system and service manager. You can easily achieve this same behavior with your own programs and scripts, or in fact any other program that is on your computer. Sometimes the software you install on your computer hooks itself into the Linux startup process, so that the program is automatically launched each time the computer is started.
