Not working as systemd service

Hi,

I am trying to run keebie.py using as systemd service so that i can turn the script on and off using systemctl command but for some reasons keebie.py refuse to work with systemd but if i run the keebie.py from the terminal emulator everthing works as expected

The keeebie service seems to be working but it is not executing any command that i have defined in default.json.

~ ❯ sudo systemctl status keebie                                              11:17:33
● keebie.service - Keebie service
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/keebie.service; disabled; vendor preset: dis>
     Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-01-30 11:17:33 IST; 1s ago
   Main PID: 62904 (python3)
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 9366)
     Memory: 12.6M
     CGroup: /system.slice/keebie.service
             └─62904 /usr/bin/python3 /home/parasbhanot/Keebie/keebie.py

i have created the keebie service with the following content :

[Unit]
Description=Keebie service 

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/parasbhanot/Keebie/keebie.py

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Please note that i have also created the udev rule for my second keyboard so it cannot not be a permission issue.

if i disconnect my second keyboard and then check the status of the keebie service i get the following :


/etc/systemd/system🔒 ❯ sudo systemctl status keebie                          11:31:33

i have also cheked the jorunal logs . it seems script is working but it is not executing xdotool when it is run as service which is strange but simple echo commands are working fine as given below.

Jan 31 13:18:14 garuda python3[28189]: hello from default

My default.json file :

{
   "KEY_F10": "layer:parasbhanot",
   "KEY_SPACE": "echo 'hello from default' ",
   "KEY_F1": "/home/parasbhanot/Automation/scripts/ping.sh",
   "KEY_SCROLLLOCK": "xdotool key ctrl+n"
}

i am running out of ideas .

has anyone tested keebie.py with systemd ?
