== How to run a systemd script at boot automatically using Linux ==

If you need to run a script at boot automatically using Linux with '''systemd''' this is the easiest solution.

* Create a script file calling your application

 # vi /home/root/flutter-launcher.sh

 #!/bin/sh
 
 flutter-auto --b=/usr/share/flutter/gallery/3.3.10/release/ --f


* Modify the executable flag 

 # chmod +x /home/root/flutter-launcher.sh


* Create the service

 # vi /etc/systemd/system/flutterstart.service

 [Unit]
 Description=Flutter starter
 
 [Service]
 ExecStart=/home/root/flutter-launcher.sh
 
 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target


Now, take a few more steps to enable and use the .service file:

* Start it

 # sudo systemctl start flutterstart

* Enable it to run at boot

 # sudo systemctl enable flutterstart

* Test it

 # systemctl status flutterstart
 
 * flutter-start.service - Flutter starter
