start_chia.sh

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/chia/chia-blockchain

. ./activate

chia start farmer -r

echo "chia started"

stop_chia.sh

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/chia/chia-blockchain

. ./activate

chia stop -d all

echo "chia stoped"

In this scripts I assume the blockchain source is in /home/chia/chia-blockain and there is a user chia in the system.

1. Put the service file in /etc/systemd/system/ or create a link
2. Put the start and stop in /home/chia
3. Enable the service sudo systemctl enable chia.service

To check the status systemctl status chia

Thanks for this!

Your 2 commands above are wrong, they should be systemctl not servicectl

True I did wrote it too fast 👍
