Can I run this script on Ubuntu?
I made systemd so that the script runs in the background but I get this error

This is what the file looks like

[Unit]
Description=Comment Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/comms/commentbot/start.js
Restart=on-success
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hi, yes of course! I myself am running Linux exclusively for years now.
Not sure why it is detecting a corrupted file, as long as you didn't make any modifications it should work just fine.
I would need to test later if it is maybe caused by starting it using an absolute path instead of directly from the bot's folder; I haven't tested this in quite some time.
I'll reply back when I know more, I'm currently at work

[casper-none]

ok, im waiting. Thx

[3urobeat]

Alright, this is indeed caused by using an absolute path; sorry for missing something like this lol
I have opened a new issue to keep track of this bug: #217
In the meantime please make sure to start the bot from the bot's folder directly - it might be possible to chain the systemd exec command, let me check real quick

Alright, found a better solution for now - simply define a WorkingDirectory.
Your service file should look like this:

[Unit]
Description=Comment Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/comms/commentbot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node start.js
Restart=on-success
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I'll update #217 once the bug has been fixed :)

I'm using systemctl systemctl start comms@comms to run a script in the background via systemd, but I'm getting this

When I just run the script in the terminal it works but when I close the terminal the script exits

[3urobeat]

Well, I can't exactly tell you why your systemd script is failing here, my experience with writing systemd service files is limited anyway :'D
Starting the bot using the service file I posted above which specifies a WorkingDirectory works flawlessly for me, I can close any and all terminals just fine

Please try the workaround I posted and select it as an answer should that work for you as well

Can I ask one more thing? I get an error saying that 2 accounts have a limit and I need to add them as friends. When I add them it says the same thing

[3urobeat]

Sure, always feel free to ask :)
Accounts which have spent less than $5 on the Steam Store are "limited", meaning they can't do a few things on Steam, one thing being commenting on non-friend profiles. When adding an account, Steam has multiple friendship statuses and it might not yet have switched to the correct one - I have noticed this recently too. Either that or there is a new bug since v2.14 (either in my bot or in one of the libraries) as it worked flawlessly previously.
Have you waited a moment and restarted the bot since adding those accounts?

Edit: Restarting the bot shouldn't be necessary, this is normally instant
