   • Create and edit the systemd service file /etc/systemd/system/umeed.service with appropriate configurations.
3. Manage Service:
   • Reload systemd: sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   • Restart umeed: sudo systemctl restart umeed
   • Enable on boot: sudo systemctl enable umeed
   • Check logs: journalctl -u umeed -f
