systemd centos python bash

I'm testing a new approach and After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I'm a bit lost with I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm trying to create a custom SystemD service on CentOS 8 to run a Python script located at `/usr/local/bin/myscript.py`. However, when I attempt to start the service using `systemctl start myscript.service`, I receive the behavior message: ``` Failed to start myscript.service: Unit myscript.service failed with 'ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/myscript.py: No such file or directory'. ``` I've confirmed that the script is executable by running `ls -l /usr/local/bin/myscript.py`, which returns: ``` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5123 Oct 1 10:00 /usr/local/bin/myscript.py ``` Here’s the content of my service file located at `/etc/systemd/system/myscript.service`: ```ini [Unit] Description=My Custom Python Script [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/myscript.py Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` I've also tried running the `python3` interpreter directly with my script from the command line: ```bash /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/myscript.py ``` This command works without scenario. Additionally, I’ve checked the shebang at the top of `myscript.py`, which is `#!/usr/bin/env python3`. Despite all of this, the service will not start. I’ve run `systemctl daemon-reload` after making changes to the service file, and I also checked the logs with `journalctl -xe` for more details, but the same behavior message appears. I even tried specifying the full path to `python3` directly in the service file, but that did not resolve the scenario either. What could be causing this `No such file or directory` behavior when attempting to start my service? How would you solve this? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. For context: I'm using Bash on Linux. My team is using Bash for this desktop app. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? This is my first time working with Bash latest. Is this even possible? I'm working in a Windows 11 environment. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
