I've installed sabnzpdplus from the apt-get repository using these instructions https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... buntu-repo


I've created a service - /etc/systemd/system/sabnzbd.service

but when i start it i see this error in status:

sab@myserv:~$ sudo systemctl start sabnzbd.service
sab@myserv:~$ sudo systemctl status sabnzbd.service

Delete that sabnzbd.service file, somebody may have pasted that all over the internet but it's badly broken.

In fact, you do not need to add a service file at all: the startup script included in the package works just fine. How to set it up is in the instructions you linked in your own post.
