EZProxy service file for systemd start/stop

ezproxy.service

My installation of EZProxy is in the directory /usr/local/ezproxy/ and I link the latest ezproxy version like this: ezproxy -> ezproxy.6_5_2.bin

I am using Ubuntu Linux 18 LTS.

Installation:

1. Edit this file to /usr/local/ezproxy/ezproxy.service

2. ln -s /usr/local/ezproxy/ezproxy.service /lib/systemd/system/ezproxy.service

3. systemctl daemon-reload

4. systemctl enable ezproxy.service

5. systemctl start ezproxy.service

or stop

1. systemctl stop ezproxy.service

or status:

1. systemctl status ezproxy.service

When changing booting procedure (maybe from init.d --> systemd), don't forget to to disable the other one...

Here is my ezproxy.service file:
