Thank you for your support Seth! I do not think I am running anything special. Just one Python script, 400 lines of my code, many thousends in libs, I guess. From QTerminal command line it runs perfectly. From within a service not. Looking at your proposal: do you really intend to write: ExecStart= /path/myprog.py instead of: ExecStart=python /path/myprog.py???? That wonders me. I "sudo nano" the service file and then write it in the /etc/systemd/system/ folder. Nothing else I do. Is that sufficient? Thanks a lot again. Regards, Harke
