Just a note, depending on which Linux you use, you need to be aware of the service start scripts detailed here:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/init

So, using Ubuntu, you will probably be using the Upstart script.  Just important to be aware of that IMHO.

I think Ubuntu is using SystemD service files now but nevertheless, these startup scripts are still very useful.

It's missing a SysV script but that's probably not very important except on very old systems (no chance of compiling Core on those since they definitely don't have C++17 compiler), but if I can figure out how to make a CMD batch file or powershell script that makes the Bitcoin service run on Windows, that would be nice too.
