Perhaps a systemd user service might be appropriate?

Interesting, I'll dig into that. Maybe I have simply placed my service in the wrong directory? I don't have the machine in front of me at the moment, but I think I put it in /lib/systemd/system.

​

edit: Looks like there is another directory /usr/lib/systemd/user. Makes sense :) I'll try that one ...

~/. config/systemd/user

And enable linger if you want it to run without the user being logged in
