Systemd service not starting python program












-1















service for my raspberry pi security camera which is being run when I start my pi but the file I set to run is not starting as best I can tell. I have set this up on another pi which is configured almost exactly the same but this one is not working. Code is as follows filename=camfeed.service



[Unit]
Description=CameraLoopProgram
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=pi
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/pi/python/MotionDetectionRepeat.py > /home/pi/python/cameralog.log 2>&1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


I have used chmod 644 on the file and sudo systemctl daemon-reload and sudo systemctl enable to start the file on bootup and the service shows up as enable when listing services.

  • Have you looked in dmesg to check if the service fails to load?

  • Just saved dmesg to a file and do not see anything related to the service.
