You can follow this to create a service in Linux using systemd. Here are the steps¹:
- Create a file named `[servicename].service` under `/etc/systemd/system` directory and add the following content:
```
[Unit]
Description=Your service description
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/path/to/your/executable
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
- Replace `[servicename]` with your desired service name and `/path/to/your/executable` with your actual executable file path.
- Start your new service with `sudo systemctl start [servicename].service`.
- Check the status of your new service with `sudo systemctl status [servicename].service`.
- Enable your service on every reboot with `sudo systemctl enable [servicename].service`.
- Disable your service on every reboot with `sudo systemctl disable [servicename].service`.
