I have been puzzling over this one for a while now and I have managed to refine my issue to one problem. I have a service which is supposed to run a shell script to start daemon processes (using nohup), these processes are discord bots written using nodejs and discordjs. Currently I have a service that starts the test discord bot when I run it using sudo systemctl start startdiscordbots and that works fine. The issue is when I restart the computer the service throws the error below:
/daemons/discordbots/discounter/node_modules/discord.js/src/rest/RequestHandler.js:172
Aug 31 13:35:15 ubuntu start.sh[2459]: throw new HTTPError(error.message, error.constructor.name, error.status, request);
Aug 31 13:35:15 ubuntu start.sh[2459]: ^

Aug 31 13:35:15 ubuntu start.sh[2459]: requestData: { json: undefined, files: [] }
Aug 31 13:35:15 ubuntu start.sh[2459]: }
So I know that the service starts fine once all other services have been loaded correctly but I am guessing that there is a service that I need to put in the After= part of the startdiscordbots.service file that I have missed, my startdiscordbots.service code is below
[Unit]
Description=Start discord bots as background processes
After=network.target systemd-user-sessions.service
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/startup/start.sh
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
KillMode=process
User=ubuntu
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Does anyone know if there is a service that I need to specify in the After= that I have missed or is there something else going on?
The computer I am using is a RaspberryPi with Ubuntu Server installed, I am using node v16.8.0 and npm v7.21.0 with discordjs v13.1.0. I only have access to the terminal so please don't give answers telling me to use other tools.
Any help would be amazing!
