    To register vpnserver to Linux as a daemon process, create a startup script, as shown below, with the name /opt/vpnserver.shetc/init.d/vpnserver. (The following startup script is a description example, and you may have to rewrite part of the script for it to work properly on your system.)

    ...

    You can use a text editor or the cat command to write the above script to /etc/opt/vpnserver.shinit.d/vpnserver as a text file. To use the cat command to create the script, press Ctrl + D after the line break in the final line, as shown below.

    ...

    After creating the /etc/opt/vpnserver.shinit.d/vpnserver startup script, change the permissions for this script so that the script cannot be rewritten by a user without permissions.

    [root@machine vpnserver]# chmod 755 /opt/vpnserver.sh

    Next, create a systemd config file, as shown below, with the name /etc/systemd/system/vpnserver.serviceetc/init.d. (The following startup script is a description example, and you may have to rewrite part of the script for it to work properly on your system.)

    [Unit]
Description = vpnserver daemon

[Service]
ExecStart = /opt/vpnserver.sh start
ExecStop = /opt/vpnserver.sh stop
ExecReload = /opt/vpnserver.sh restart
Restart = always
Type = forking

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target/vpnserver

    Lastly, use the systemctlchkconfig command to allow the above startup script to start automatically in the background when the Linux kernel starts.

    [root@machine vpnserver]# systemctl enable/sbin/chkconfig --add vpnserver

    ...

      
    [root@machine vpnserver]# systemctl start vpnserver/etc/init.d/vpnserver start

    ...

    [root@machine vpnserver]# systemctl stop vpnserver/etc/init.d/vpnserver stop
