How to run pyradmon.py in Systemd on Ubuntu 18.04.2-LTS to get GQ GMC-320 online was created by Marc

pyradmon.py is a little python script I need running on an Ubuntu 18.04.2-LTS server to get data from my GMC 320 Geiger Muller counter from GQ electronics to its data showing webpage here on radmon.
It has to always run and restarted if it fails.
On Ubuntu 18 and many other systems a system called Systemd is in use to facilitate this.
To install the script:

sudo chmod +x pyradmon.py 
sudo apt-get install python-serial
sudo adduser yourusername dialout
sudo reboot

To get the script running in Systemd do the following:

Create a file called "radmon.service" in /etc/systemd/system .

[Unit]
Description=Radmon service
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=30
User=marc
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python -u /home/marc/GMC/pyradmon.py
StandardOutput=console
StandardError=inherit

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then do:

sudo systemctl enable radmon.service
sudo systemctl start radmon.service

And if needed do:

sudo systemctl status radmon.service
sudo systemctl restart radmon.service
sudo systemctl stop radmon.service

That's it.
