How to Run a Script as a Service in Raspberry Pi - Raspbian Jessie

A pretty common task when using this device, is to run some script (for example a python script) as a service in the operating system so it can start on boot, stop and restart using systemctl and more. In this post I'm going to explain how to set a little script as a service using Raspbian Jessie in a Raspberry Pi.

Example Python Script

This code was moved

This code is usable only if you are on Home Assistant 0.114 or older

For Home Assistant 0.115 and newer please go to: https://github.com/AdamNaj/ZWaveGraphHA

Auto reconnect to wifi when lost connection

Before you start, make sure ip command is available on your system. In modern Linux distributions, ip replaces older ifconfig command. If net-tools package (that includes ifconfig) is not installed and you prefer using it, you can install it via sudo apt-get install net-tools.

Create script file

Use touch /home/pi/wifi-reconnect.sh to create a shell script file, with the following content:

#!/bin/bash

ASUSWRT-MERLIN custom DDNS Script for Cloudflare

for Cloudflare as DDNS

using Cloudflare API v4

Using

put ddns-start at /jffs/scripts/, setting values and set DDNS type to Custom at web Admin panel.

	# Be warned: This is just a first try and still very much work in progress - no guarantees given whatsoever!
	#
	# To install the ESPHome firmware on the WiCAN for the first time (before being able to use ESPHome OTA), I built the firmware
	# for download (in "modern" format) and then used the following command line on Linux:
	# esptool.py --before=default_reset --after=hard_reset --no-stub write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 4MB 0x0 /home/.../Downloads/m-wican-factory.bin
	#
	# Don't forget to short the pins to enable boot mode (https://github.com/meatpiHQ/wican-fw#obd).
	#
	# Using the graphical tool (https://github.com/meatpiHQ/wican-fw#2-usb-flash) will probably work just as well. Just populate
	# the first item in the list with 0x0 and /home/.../Downloads/m-wican-factory.bin and leave the rest empty.
