Environment: CentOS 8, Node.js, Digital Ocean Droplet
My Systemd setup starts a node app with the following command. It works as expected.
$ sudo systemctl start myapp File 1: /etc/systemd/system/myapp.service
[Unit] Description = My App After = network.target [Service] ExecStart = /root/start-myapp.sh Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy = multi-user.target File 2: /root/start-myapp.sh
#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/node /srv/myapp/app.js However when I'm not using Systemd I normally start my app with Node Package Manager using the command, npm start. I'd rather have the Systemd unit also start the app with npm start.
Unfortunately it threw an error when I changed app.js to npm start in /root/start-myapp.sh,
/usr/bin/node /srv/myapp/npm start I made another attempt by switching the path from node to npm but it produced the same error.
/usr/bin/npm /srv/myapp/npm start Question: How do I get my Systemd unit file to start my app with the command npm start?
