Hi
You would need to create a systemd service down in /etc/systemd/system.


# /etc/systemd/system/cpulimit.service
#

[Unit]
Description=Run cpulimit for XXXXX

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cpulimit <your options>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then start the service, check, if all OK enable…


systemctl start cpulimit
systemctl status cpulimit
systemctl enable

Your question is not novel:

Hi
Just create two service files, else use a && for the second one and see
how i goes, or create a script to run the two and point to that in the
service file, eg;


ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/usr/sbin/my_cpulimit_script"
