Configure PingAccess to run as a Linux systemd service, causing it to start automatically when Linux starts.

Note:

The service script will only start if <JAVA_HOME> and <PA_HOME> are set and the PingAccess license file is found.

Copy the configuration file from <PA_HOME>/sbin/linux/pingaccess.service to /etc/systemd/system/pingaccess.service.
In the pingaccess.service file, replace the following variables:
- ${PA_HOME}
- ${PA_USER}
- ${PA_JAVA_HOME}
To allow read/write activity on the service, run this command:
```
chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/pingaccess.service
```
To load the systemd service, run this command:
```
systemctl daemon-reload
```
To enable the service, run this command:
```
systemctl enable pingaccess.service
```
To start the service, run this command:
```
systemctl start pingaccess.service
```
