systemd “status=203/EXEC” error when creating new service
I've created a new service for a Python script that works when running standalone but gives errors below when run through systemd :
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started Read pressure And Post to mqtt.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Unit entered failed state.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Stopped Read pressure And Post to mqtt.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Failed to start Read pressure And Post to mqtt.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Unit entered failed state.
Oct 02 12:17:09 raspberrypi systemd[1]: ReadPressure.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
The service was created in "etc/systemd/system/ReadPressure.service. it has executable rights.
The services looks like :
[Unit]
Description=ReadPressure
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'python3 -u /home/pi/ReadPressure/ReadPressure2AndPostToMqtt.py'
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/ReadPressure/
Restart=always
User=pi
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Any ideas why im getting the errors? The operating system is Raspbian.
Thanks

Why are you starting a bash that is calling python? You can start python directly withExecStart=/usr/bin/python3...or wherever your python3 binary resides.

Tried starting directly too. I saw a example like that so i tried it to see if it gives me different results.

according to hte docmentation "203 EXIT_EXEC" says "The actual process execution failed (specifically, the execve(2) system call). Most likely this is caused by a missing or non-accessible executable file." I guess it cant find the python file? in the log it says " Started Read pressure And Post to mqtt" but the file is named "ReadPressure2AndPostToMqtt.py". Do you think that could be part of the problem? i dont know how to correct it, any ideas?

Try
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl status ReadPressure.service
Paraphrasing @Ingo from https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/92169/i-fail-to-start-a-python-program-in-thonny-on-startup
The error message (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) is often seen when the script itself or its interpreter cannot be executed.
It could have these reasons:
wrong path to script (e.g. /home/py/ReadPressure2AndPostToMqtt.py)
script not executable
no shebang (first line)
wrong path in shebang (e.g. /bin/python3)
internal files in your script might be missing access permissions.
