+
+The goal of this project is to get familiar with `systemd`; creating and enabling a service, checking the status, keeping an eye on the logs, starting and stopping the service, etc.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Create a script called `dummy.sh` that keeps running forever and writes a message to the log file every 10 seconds simulating an application running in the background. Here is an example script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+while true; do
+  echo "Dummy service is running..." >> /var/log/dummy-service.log
+  sleep 10
+done
+```
+
+Create a systemd service `dummy.service` that should start the app automatically on boot and keep it running in the background. If the service fails for any reason, it should automatically restart.
+
+You should be able to `start`, `stop`, `enable`, `disable`, check the `status` of the service, and check the logs i.e. following commands should be available for the service:
+
+```bash
+# Interacting with the service
+sudo systemctl start dummy
+sudo systemctl stop dummy
+sudo systemctl enable dummy
+sudo systemctl disable dummy
+sudo systemctl status dummy
+
+# Check the logs
+sudo journalctl -u dummy -f
+```
+
+<hr />
+
+After completing this project, you will have a good understanding of systemd, creating custom services, managing existing services, debugging issues, and more.
