I was inspired by this guide and I tested it on AWS EC2 and it works!

(SOURCE: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-and-use-Tea*Speak-server-on-centos-7/#configuring-systemd-service)



TeaSpeak server can be easily managed using the commands above, it is recommended to setup a systemd service unit so that you can start and manage the server using the service. This will also ensure that the service is automatically started at boot time.

Create a new systemd service file by running the following command.

nano /lib/systemd/system/teaspeak.service

Populate the file with the following content.

Code:
[Unit]
Description=TeaSpeak Server Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
WorkingDirectory=/home/teaspeak/
ExecStart=/home/teaspeak/teastart.sh start
ExecStop=/home/teaspeak/teastart.sh stop
User=teaspeak
Group=teaspeak
PIDFile=/home/teaspeak/tpid.pid
Restart=always
RestartSec=9
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=teaspeak

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Save the file and exit from the editor. Now you can start Tea*Speak using:

systemctl start teaspeak

To configure Tea*Speak to automatically start at boot time, use.

systemctl enable teaspeak

To check if Tea*Speak service is started correctly, you can run the following command to check the status of the Tea*Speak service.

systemctl status teaspeak

Make script executable:

Code:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/teaspeak
The script is ready and needs to be defined as an autostart:
