Creating a service on Angstrom to run a python script on power up works great. I tried to do the same with Debian but had no luck. Is this possible?

If you’re using a systemd-based Debian (like the current shipping version of BBB), create a file in /etc/systemd/system/ named example.service (for example)

It should contain the following

[Unit]
Description=Example of a service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c ‘cd /home/example ; python example.py 2> example.err > example.out’
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

then give the command

systemctl enable example.service

When you reboot, your script will execute.

Sorry but I’m doing something wrong. Not that familiar with Linux
