Activity 1: Booting & systemd

Activity brief

Develop a systemd service that outputs “Hello, in ASCII art every time you boot up your virtual machine”

• Do it with any language/framework you prefer

What to send?

To complete this activity, you must deliver a link to your Github repository, which in one folder will contain:

• The script itself
• The .service file
• A screenshot of your journalctl output, where the script output can be seen.

Example of the journalctl screenshot:

Some usefull resources

• Redhat’s documentation on how to manage services with systemd

• SUSE’s documentation on setting up a systemd service

• Check out banner or figlet, some commands to make ascii from bash

• Check out pyfiglet if you’re one of those that prefer python

• A more complete approach to systemd (1h)
