If the preceding command returns the string systemd, you are likely using systemd.
If you want Home Assistant to be launched automatically, an extra step is needed to setup systemd. You need a service file to control Home Assistant with systemd. If you are using a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian then replace the [your user] with pi otherwise use your user you want to run Home Assistant. ExecStart contains the path to hass and this may vary. Check with whereis hass for the location.

+ - For most systems, the file is
/etc/systemd/system/home-assistant@[your user].service with [your user] replaced by the user account that Home Assistant will run as - normally homeassistant. For Ubuntu 16.04, the file is /lib/systemd/system/home-assistant.service and requires running this command sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/home-assistant.service /etc/systemd/system/home-assistant.service after file is created.
+ - If unfamiliar with command line text editors,
sudo nano -w [filename] can be used with [filename] replaced with the full path to the file. Ex. sudo nano -w /etc/systemd/system/home-assistant@homeassistant.service. After text entered, press CTRL-X then press Y to save and exit.
