Hello,
I was unaware of not being able to produce GUI ideas w/ daemons. Now, I
know! Thanks to you two people for trying things out and knowing stuff.
Thank you.

WOW! You made my day! This works! I am working about two weeks to get
this going but I was completely at the wrong track!
Thank you so much for your advice.
IOU!
Best regards, enjoy the weekend,

I am really lost here. I have a working application on the BBB platform
running Debian from a couple of years ago. It was not easy but I got it
completely running, automatically. Now I am trying for two weeks to upgrade

I was actually thinking you should make sure you run the exact same python.
So if your exec start line says /usr/bin/python2.7 aceme.py then you should
run that. Then pay attention to the comments about the pythonpath in my
previous email.
But your other descriptions are not promising. I don't
Hi Jim,
No problem, I can do that, in fact I have done that many times with the
same results. I can enter: cd /home/debian/eme/ and then: python aceme.py
or I can enter: python /home/debian/eme/aceme.py. That works in both ways
exactly the same. When run under the bash it gives an error saying
Harke,
You should try running your script from the cli using the exact same
command you use for the exec start line in your service file. It should
give you the same errors you are seeing. That would be good. If not, the
problem is that your environment doesn't match. It will probably end up

Hello Jim and Seth,
Thank you for your support. The service test scripts all run fine. My own
scripts persist in the error given above. My own service loads but aborts
at import serial, which, I guess, has not so much to do with serial, as
with something else. I will try and upload the relevant
I actually think what you need to do is something along the following line.
I don't think the shebang line makes a difference (rather, I know this) if
you pass the python script directly to the python binary.
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python2.7 /path/to/my_file.py
You should post your errors if Seth's
Okay and Hello Once More,
Seth here. I think (know) Jim F was on to something w/ your software and
setting up .service files for running on boot.
For example: Here is another test example to try out to learn more about
.service files and starting files on boot on the BBB (or other related
Hello,
If you are using an environment, env, to run your software on boot, I may
be out of line. I do not use environments for my Linux Distros when running
software on boot. Um, I think if you just type up your software w/ Python2
and add the top line #!/usr/bin/python to the software, you
Looks like we are close. But the error codes are persistent. I can not
copy/paste but serial does not load. Whatever I place in the first line of
the python file.
I tried: #!/bin/env/python and other shebangs (I learn!) but the error
remains exactly the same. Btw: I use python2.x
Any clue what to
Harke,
Did you, in the software example you created, add #!/usr/bin/python3 to the
top of your program and then use this command: sudo chmod a+x YourFile.py?
Now, you should be able to run your .service file like before from the
example I had given.

Hello jim,
Many thanks for chiming in! I copied your example, only close, and then got
an error that I need to provide the complete path for python as well. It
never occured to me as I thought I can invoke Python just from about
everywhere. No way. Now it loads the proper way. Unfortunately my
Hi Harke,
I am hoping to build up some good will to get an answer to my question, so
let me see if I can pitch in. Plus I wanted to get a systemd service
working anyway, which I did successfully this morning. Here are the steps I
took.
1) Create the application. I wrote a stupid python program:
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:
Hello Harke,
Seth here. Um, are you trying to run a specific piece of software only or
are you trying to run multiple pieces of software?
Seth
P.S. I know you have to make a file accessible at /etc/systemd/system/ w/ the proper instructions in that .service file. Now,
to make it run should be
Hi Seth,
In the meantime I think I tried just about any combination I can think of.
Mostly I get the following error codes after demanding the status;
Loaded
Active: failed
Process: 1002 ... code = exited, status=203/EXEC
Main PID: 1002.
In short; no luck so far
I am doing
Hello,
When you type under [Service], use only the PATH. Try that idea first. I
may be able to help out a bit.
Seth
P.S. For instance, say I have a Python file in this dir:
/home/debian/LoveBone/. I would simply put, under the [Service] tag,
ExecStart=/home/debain/LoveBone/MultipleIdeas.py
Hello Seth,
Thanks a lot for your reaction. I already digested these pages (as good as
I could, I am an RF engineer, not a programmer). Unfortunately this does
not help me much. The service file is at the correct location.
I hope to get some clue where I am doing something wrong.
Thanks again,
Hello Again Harke,
Seth here. You need to put your .service files in /etc/systemd/system/. I
am pretty sure.

Hello,

I think you may need to rummage around in that site to look up your
