On Arch Linux, I am trying to create a systemd service which runs this Bash script:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/xbindkeys &
/bin/setxkbmap -layout gb
With some online guidance I then made a file named myfirst.service in /etc/systemd/system to store my service. Here are the contents of the file:
[Unit]
Description=Command Service
[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/startupjobscript
User=user1
Type=oneshot
Restart=on-abort
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The service is supposed to execute /etc/startupjobscript, which is the Bash script. After this I enabled and started the service with:
systemctl enable myfirst
systemctl start myfirst
But for some reason it doesn't work and shows that it has failed to load and run at all.
EDIT: here is what sudo systemctl status myfirst give me:
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of myfirst.service changed on >disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
