A useful tool is to create a startup service on an ubuntu based server or embedded computer (like a pi). There is an example of a bash script used for launching a service in bash/example_service.sh and then an example service to run that script in services/example_service.service. You should make your own and replace whatever variables you need to.
After writing the service and bash scripts, you should do the following:
# move bash to the bin directory
$ sudo cp <bash-script>.sh /usr/bin/<bash-schript>.sh
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/<bash-script>.sh
# move service into systemd
sudo cp <myservice>.service /etc/systemd/system/<myservice>.service
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/<myservice>.service
# enable service to be used at boot
sudo systemctl enable myservice
To test your service or stop and start it, you can use the commands:
sudo systemctl status myservice
sudo systemctl start myservcie
sudo systemctl stop myservice
sudo systemctl restart myservice
