I've created this service in /etc/systemd/system/webapp.service
in a
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
This is the content:
[Unit]
Description=webapp daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/start-webapp.sh
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/stop-webapp.sh
ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/reload-webapp.sh
StandardOutput=null
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=webapp.service
I try to startd the service using:
sudo systemctl start webapp.service
But when I do
sudo systemctl status webapp.service
I got this error:
● webapp.service - webapp daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/webapp.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Jun 01 11:31:48 localhost systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/webapp.service:8: Missing '='.

and
admin#localhost:/etc/systemd/system$ cat -vetn webapp.service

Your config content seems nothing wrong, so I have copied it to my debian server and try to run it, and it's really ok.
But it's strange that the stdout of cat -vetn webapp.service is not the exactly content of your original config, so would you mind to remove the original config and do it again ?
refer: https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/Services
redo:
mv webapp.service /tmp/webapp.service
vi webapp.service # check characters
After creating or modifying any unit files, we must tell systemd that we want it to look for new things:
systemctl daemon-reload
Then, tell systemd to enable it, so that it will start every time we boot:
systemctl enable myservice.service
Finally, start it:
systemctl start myservice.service
