# Add to monitor.sh
check_health() {
    # Add specific health checks
    # Return 0 if healthy, 1 if unhealthy

# Check for updates
new_version=$(curl -s "$VERSION_CHECK_URL")
if [ "$new_version" != "$CURRENT_VERSION" ]; then
    # Perform update
    systemctl stop $SERVICE_NAME
    # Update logic here
    systemctl start $SERVICE_NAME
fi
This comprehensive setup ensures that: - Your software starts automatically on boot - Crashes are handled and reported - Logs are maintained and rotated - Network connectivity is verified - The system can recover from errors - Updates can be automated - Health monitoring is in place Remember to: - Test thoroughly in a non-production environment first - Maintain proper documentation - Keep backup copies of all scripts - Monitor system logs regularly - Update security permissions as needed

To use this solution: 1. Save all scripts in a directory 2. Run the installation script: `sudo ./install.sh` 3. Test by rebooting: `sudo reboot` The system will: - Automatically start your software on boot - Monitor and restart if it crashes - Maintain network configuration - Log all activities - Provide automatic recovery mechanisms Remember to: - Replace placeholder paths and names with your actual values - Test thoroughly in a safe environment first - Monitor logs for any issues - Update configurations as needed

# Set proper file permissions
chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/your-app.service
chmod 700 /opt/scripts/startup_script.sh

# Set proper ownership
chown root:root /etc/systemd/system/your-app.service
chown root:root /opt/scripts/startup_script.sh
This setup ensures that: - Your software starts automatically on boot - Restarts if it crashes - Logs all activities - Can be easily maintained - Is secure and properly configured Remember to: - Test thoroughly before deployment - Backup all configurations - Monitor logs regularly - Update scripts as needed - Document any changes

Usage: 1. Customize the scripts by replacing placeholder paths and values 2. Run the installation script:
1
sudo ./install.sh
Additional Tips: 1. Always test the scripts in a non-production environment first 2. Implement proper error handling and logging 3. Consider adding backup procedures 4. Implement security measures (file permissions, authentication) 5. Add monitoring and alerting capabilities 6. Document any specific requirements or dependencies Troubleshooting: 1. Check service status:
1
systemctl status your-app.service
2. View logs:
1
2
journalctl -u your-app.service
tail -f /var/log/app_startup.log
3. Test startup script manually:
1
/path/to/startup_script.sh
This setup ensures that: - Your application starts automatically on boot - The application is monitored and restarted if it crashes - Proper logging and notifications are in place - The installation process is automated - The system is maintainable and monitored Remember to adjust paths, permissions, and configurations according to your specific Cisco Meraki device and requirements.
