so now i gone tell how to make a services on archlinux or linux on general

so first must create a script for the services on this example i gone
create a services for battery check if it's battery low

now after creating the script for battery check

path: /home/fooo/test.sh

change dir to this place /home/yossef/.config/systemd/user

and create two files with the same name but different extension

the content for the files is gone be
# - battery-check.service 
[Unit]
Description=Battery level checker

[Service]
Type=oneshot
# oneshot: runs a short-lived command or script, does its job once
ExecStart=/home/foo/test.sh
## path for the file battery script

# - battery-check.timer

[Unit]
Description=Runs battery check every minute

OnBootSec=1min


[Timer]
OnBootSec=1min
# OnBootSec: "Wait 1 minute after system boot, then run the 
#       service for the first time."
OnUnitActiveSec=1min
# OnUnitActiveSec: This tells systemd: "Run the service 1 minute after 
#       it was last run."

# name of the service that you make
Unit=battery-check.service

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
#You can enable the timer with systemctl --user enable battery-check.timer
#It will then automatically run at login/startup, without needing manual start

and now after creating the two files and setup them run this commends


# for check for everything is right
systemd-analyze verify ~/.config/systemd/user/battery-check.service

# start the service
systemctl --user start battery-check.service

# reload the  daemon and enable services forever
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now battery-check.timer
