How to Run Shell Script as Systemd Service in Linux ?<\/h4>\n

Here, we will make a manual script which will act like a process to find disk utilization of the Linux system.<\/p>\n

To begin, Make a bash script that redirects date and disk utilization in a file. You can create files in any location. We are going to make in executable directory \/usr\/bin:<\/p>\n

$ sudo vim \/usr\/bin\/script.sh<\/pre>\n
Then, Copy and paste the following script and save your file:<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/bash\n# Script generates disk utilization by the system and store in a file\nwhile true\ndo\ndate >> \/var\/storage-monitor.txt\nsudo du -sch \/ >> \/var\/storage-monitor.txt\nsleep 120\ndone<\/pre>\n
Next, Make the file executable by running the following command.<\/p>\n
$ chmod +x \/usr\/bin\/script.sh<\/pre>\n
Now, let’s make a service for running the script. Just create a file in the following directory. Note you can give any name but it must end with .service extension:<\/p>\n
$ vim \/etc\/systemd\/system\/monitor-disk.service<\/pre>\n
And add the following details:<\/p>\n
[Unit]\nDescription=My disk monitoring service\nDocumentation=https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/\n#After=networking.service\n[Service]\nType=simple\nUser=root\nGroup=root\nTimeoutStartSec=0\nRestart=on-failure\nRestartSec=30s\n#ExecStartPre=\nExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/script.sh\nSyslogIdentifier=Diskutilization\n#ExecStop=\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/pre>\n
What is going on here is:<\/p>\n
