From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Systemd Service Keeps Failing, how can I have it start if status is failed? (sh.itjust.works)

So I followed this youtube video on setting up RTL-433 service on a Ubuntu server. Problem is, it seems to keep failing after a while. Sometimes doing a systemctl start service doesn't work and I will have to reboot the system and then it will work. It will work for a while and later in the day it will suddenly stop. Sometimes I can do a systemctl start, but sometimes not.

Anyone know how I can have this service constantly up and running, and restart if it fails?

I second journalctl -f -u SERVICE_NAME.service it's great and just works well. The .service isn't required, but it's a good habit to get into since systemd also has mounts and timers.
