   #!/bin/bash
   
   # Define the service names to start
   service_names=("Service1" "Service2")
   
   # Function to check if a service is already running
   check_service_status() {
       local service_name="$1"
       if systemctl is-active --quiet "$service_name"; then
           echo "Service $service_name is already running."
           return 0  # Service is already running
       else
           return 1  # Service is not running
       fi
   }
   
   # Start each service
   for service_name in "${service_names[@]}"; do
       # Check if the service is already running
       if check_service_status "$service_name"; then
           continue  # Skip starting the service if it's already running
       fi
   
       # Start the service
       sudo systemctl start "$service_name"
   
       # Check if the service started successfully
       if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
           echo "Service $service_name started successfully."
       else
           echo "Failed to start service $service_name."
       fi
   done

3. In the script, replace the following placeholder:

   1. Provide the service(s) name in the script.
      # Define the service names to start

      service_names=("Service1" "Service2")

   2. For example,
      service_names=("ssh" "NetworkManager" "systemd-journald")
