### Button_listener.py file configuration:
Ensure Your Script is Ready:
Make sure your button_listener.py script is executable and located in /home/pi/.

Create a systemd Service File:
Open a terminal on your Raspberry Pi and create a new service file:
bash
Copy code
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/button_listener.service

Add the Following Configuration to the File:
ini
Copy code
[Unit]
Description=Button Listener Python Script
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/button_listener.py
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/
StandardOutput=inherit
StandardError=inherit
Restart=always
User=pi
Group=pi
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
ExecStart specifies the command to run your Python script. Adjust the path if your script is located elsewhere.
WorkingDirectory is set to /home/pi/ where your script is located.
StandardOutput and StandardError are set to inherit for logging.
Restart=always ensures the service restarts if the script fails.

Reload systemd to Recognize the New Service:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable the Service to Start on Boot:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl enable button_listener.service

Start the Service Immediately (Optional):
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl start button_listener.service

Check the Status of the Service:
bash
Copy code
sudo systemctl status button_listener.service
This will show you the status and any output or errors from your script.
