## Running in background as a service
**Note:** The following instructions only apply for *Linux* distributions using *systemd*.
Create the following service file: /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]
```
[Unit]
Description=Stream to M3U (%i channels)
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=[ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_SERVICE_DIRECTORY]
ExecStart=[ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_SERVICE_DIRECTORY]/StreamToM3U -i [ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_SERVICE_DIRECTORY]/Data/input-%i.xml -O /srv/http/iptv/livestreams/%i -u http://mydomain.com/iptv
MemoryAccounting=yes
MemoryMax=256M
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Create the following timer file: /lib/systemd/system/stream-to-m3u.timer
```
[Unit]
Description=Periodically creates an M3U playlist out of livestreams (%i channels)
[Timer]
OnBootSec=3min
OnUnitActiveSec=40min
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```
Values that you might want to change:
- *OnBootSec*: the delay before the service is started after the OS is booted
- *OnUnitActiveSec*: how often the service will be triggered
- *MemoryMax*: RAM usage limit
In the above example, the service will start 3 minutes after boot, and then again once every 40 minutes, being allocated 256M RAM per instance
