What is Creating Services?
Creating Linux services involves setting up background applications using systemd service files. Services run continuously performing essential tasks like web servers, databases, and mail servers. Create .service files in /etc/systemd/system/ with Unit, Service, and Install sections. Control services using systemctl commands. Best practice: avoid running services as root for security.
