Start script for Spring Boot applications with sytemd on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 17.10

In this post, we will create a Linux start script for a Spring Boot web application. The example is based on CentOS 7 / Ubuntu 17.10 using systemd. Additionally, we will utilize the Spring Boot Maven plugin to create an executable jar file. This executable jar file will be used in the context of systemd to automatically start the application whenever we restart the Linux server.
