    Making a Python Script into a Service

    It is CouchPotato program and the CouchPotato is a python script. However, when I start up the service it reloads the whole program and starts me at the wizard within the browser. So I stopped the service and then manually loaded the python file and everything was okay (I have information on CouchPotato so I hoping I don't have to migrate it). I am wondering what I am doing wrong? Why is the python script working correctly when I start is manually but not when the computer starts it. So this is what I have done so far.

    1. sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/CouchPotato.service
    _________________________________
    Inside of the file I have -
    [Unit]
    Description=Dummy Service
    After=multi-user.target
    Conflicts=getty@tty1.service


    [Service]
    Type=simple
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/jt2k/CouchPotato/CouchPotatoServer/CouchPotato.py
    StandardInput=tty-force


    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    2. sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    3. sudo systemctl enable dummy.service


    4. sudo systemctl start dummy.service
    5. sudo systemctl status dummy.service
    The status says active

    (I have made the folder /CouchPotato/ chmod 777 and /.couchpotato/ as well)
