for puppeteer use

for whatsapp-js

const { Client, LocalAuth, sessionCfg } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { product: "chrome", executablePath: "/usr/bin/chromium-browser" } });

example of whatsapp-web.js (not sure if it still works as of today)

const fs = require('fs');
var stream = fs.createWriteStream("log.txt", {flags:'a'});

const { Client, LocalAuth, sessionCfg } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
//const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth() });
const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { product: "chrome", executablePath: "/usr/bin/chromium-browser" } });
//const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth() })
const qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');

client.on('qr', qr => {
  console.log("let's go")
  qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});


client.on('message_create', async msg => {
  if (msg.body == '!ping') {
    msg.reply('pong');
  }
  if (msg.body.toLowerCase() == '!publicip') {
   msg.reply(shell.exec('curl ifconfig.me'))
  }
});
 
client.initialize();

sudo netstat -tlnp | grep vnc

this to check on which PORT the vncserver is listening. You can restart it through sudo systemctl restart vncserver-x11-serviced.
And if you notice that the port is not equal to 5900 for some reason, you can edit the config file from sudo nano config.d/vncserver-x11

A better solution than screen is tmux. To launch something as a service you can use
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/tswira.service

service looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Run tswira_follow_likers.sh on startup in tmux
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "sleep 30 && sudo -u pi tmux new-session -d -s tswira_session '/home/pi/Desktop/archive/ig_bot_selenium/bash_scripts/tswira_follow_likers.sh'"
RemainAfterExit=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload and enable the service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable tswira.service

** (Optional) Start it manually to test**
sudo systemctl start tswira.service

Check status or logs

sudo systemctl status tswira.service
journalctl -u tswira.service
