a) Change your unit file to:

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/check.sh
Type=simple

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

b) Change your script(check.sh)

Code:

date > /home/john/date.txt
/path/to/websockify 5555 localhost:7000

Don't sent websockify to background, let it run in foreground. Both is possible, but letting it run in foreground is simpler. Run the tests before websockify not after. (tests are not needed really needed anyway, you have systemctl status). You may add set -x to the start of your script to see what's being run with systemctl status. (or journalctl -u check.service)


You may add debug command line options to the websockify call. Anything that is printed on stdout will be in the log you get with systemctl status / journalctl.
