Hello, I’m looking for an example to start the cedalo file start.sh via systemd in ubuntu.
I only get “bad settings” when the service starts.
My .service file looks like this:
Thanks!
##################################
[Unit]
Description=MQTTService
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=cd ~/cedalo_platform | sudo sh start.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Hi Klaus,
I think the problem is the |
in your ExecStart line, and also possibly that ~
will point to the wrong place. I’ve created a unit file below that I’ve tested with my system. You should modify /absolute/path/to/cedalo_platform
to be the correct path - not using a ~
. If you then copy it to /etc/systemd/system/cedalo-platform.service
then you will be able to control it with systemctl start cedalo-platform
and systemctl enable cedalo-platform
and so on.
I hope that helps!
Regards,
Roger

Hi Roger, thank you for your help. It works now!
Just a thought, but you might want to add a dependence on starting After the docker.service too…as well as adding the stop executable:
[Service]
ExecStop=/absolute/path/to/cedalo_platform/stop.sh
(these things tripped me up recently )
