General discussion • Re: Python script not running on startup

Any suggestions what might be going on here?

I'd have to guess and I won't do that.

Some tips:

• [edit]
  Look at the output of

  Code:

  systemctl status your-service-name

  [/edit]
• Look for errors in the output of

  Code:

  dmesg

• Looks for errors in the systemd journal:

  Code:

  sudo journalctl --unit you-service-name

• For Bullseye and earlier look for error in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/syslog.1

output of systemctl status pi_stats.service gives me this:
● pi_stats.service - Pi Stats Script
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pi_stats.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2024-08-19 21:19:34 AEST; 9h ago
Process: 963 ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/Pi_Stats.py (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 963 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CPU: 400ms

There were no errors in the output of dmesg

My script runs fine when i manually load it from a command line.. just wont run on bootup
