[Dxspider-support] Autostarting/Respawning on Ubuntu 18.04

[IK5ZUK Luigi]

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for your quick reply.

As root, I've copyed the dxspider.service file into the folder 
/etc/systemd/system, done the 'systemctl start dxspider' (with 
'systemctl reload' spider doesn't start), but if I make a system reboot, 
spider doesn't start automatically. After system reboot I need to do 
again the 'systemctl start dxspider' command....

What I have to do to start spider automatically at system boot ?

Thanks in advance !
