I have written a simple python script that sends notifications using Pushbullet. The command works perfectly in the terminal but does not work automatically. The syslog for Cron:

How can I fix this?

Man page of service command: For systemd units, start, stop, status, and reload are passed through to their systemctl/initctl equivalents.

Does this mean for systemd units the service command use systemctl?

I was auditing my computer (with lynis) and then I saw that I have bad security on almost all of my services when I run "sudo systemd-analyze security SERVICE". I was wondering if there was a way to harden them, how do I do it? Also is there a way to auto harden them?

Thanks to everyone who helps :)!

after editing the file "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf", I noticed that my site was running much slower, so I rewrote the file from 0 with this (htps:/gist.github.com/hephaestus9/2a8562137841c99a74cb) which should be the original file. After that, the terminal, when launching the command "sudo service apache2 start", gave this error message "sudo service apache2 start Job for apache2.serv ...

I have a script that is running as root and am trying to have it setup a user service to run an IPFS daemon. The problem is that I need to enable the service as the user rather than as root. It usually works after a restart but I'd like to avoid that if I can.

The service script is located at ~/.config/systemd/user/ipfs.service

It contains:

I have rTorrent running as a daemon on my headless server, but I can't access the UI in any obvious way per the config or instructions online. I'd like to be able to pass in magnet links and manage the current torrent files using the UI, but be able to let it run seeding/downloading torrents outside of my ssh session. Unless I'm missing something obvious, I see three options for how to address this prob ...

Using system-d: I have 2 services (Service A and Service B). Service B needs Service A to always be running. If service A ever crashes or is stopped, Service B should also be immediately stopped until service A is restored (At which point in time service B should start back up automatically). Is there a directive that can be put into the system.d unit files to force this type of a relationship?

I am running Ubuntu in a VM for the purpose of having a local Wordpress installation, needed to do some local testing.

To this end I configured this machine's networking mode in VirtualBox to bridged, configured my home router to always lease the same IP address (192.168.0.101) to the MAC address of this VM and configured Apache to listen on this address in etc/apache2/ports.conf:

I want to run a simple command after my ubuntu starts up and network services are established (it should do so no matter wheater I'm logged in or not)

If I run the command manually, it start's up the enclosed applications: confluent local services start. So it works at least with my user.

ok, I understand what the power management daemon does on a laptop, conserving battery power by scaling down the cpu, and dimming the screen. On a desktop however, is the power management daemon necessary? (as in, is there anything else I am not thinking of, before I turn this off?)

I am using the RealVNC server which uses vncserver-x11-serviced. According to the documentation, one can run the daemon at startup using systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service command.

This is necessary when you reboot the system. In that case, the RealVNC server does not start listening until one actually logs in to the system which ...

I have an unattended script for installing servers. At the beginning of the script there is a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --yes. The dist upgrade has a nasty user input screen at its end asking to restart services:

I have a metered Wifi connection that has lately started reaching the prepaid data limit faster than I expect.
