systemctl service not starting after system restart

I have this service which I want to be able to start as a service on system restart. I am using Ubuntu 15.10. The service configuration file looks like this: 

[Unit]
Description=Service client 
After=syslog.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/service_clientd start"
ExecStop=/bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/service_clientd stop"
Type=simple

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The service starts perfectly with systemctl command, but does not start automatically after system restart.

Solution

  • Do this:

    systemctl enable servicename.service
