does this commands.txt support systemd?
eg:
my systemd service is pm2-user.service
to start custom service:

sudo systemctl start pm2-user.service

the systemd conf file path:

/etc/systemd/system/pm2-user.service

content:

how to set the commands.txt file for this?

Is there a way to make it run after windows startup?

The README.md suggests an installation that modify the windows registry. Instead of that option, it is possible to configure Windows 10 to run a program when the computer starts using a startup policy or a scheduled task using administrative tools.

• Using gpedit.msc, it is possible to define a program that run when the computer starts
  • Note that the configured program will run as the SYSTEMuser.
• Using taskschd.msc, it is possible to schedule a task after the startup of the computer.
  • You may configure which user will run the program, a delay before run and a number of retries.
  • the same taskschd.msc program will show a specific log regarding the execution of the task

In addition, note that the scheduled task can be created programmatically using Powershell. An user may run a .ps1 script to installs the wsl-autostart as a scheduled task very easily.

UAC prompt at boot anyway to avoid this?

The wsl command lets you specify what "Linux" user will be used to run a command. Rather then setting up sudo, why not just use "wsl -u root" in your control.bat file?

change control.bat to:

%~d0
cd "%~p0"
for /f %%i in (commands.txt) do (wsl sudo %%i %*)

so that it works when installed under a path that constains spaces

I've added ubuntu2004.exe to Scheduler (after user login).
It starts fine. But I have a UAC popup:

Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?
C:\work\wsl-autostart\control.bat

How to fix this? I've seen a similar thread. But I think it addresses not control.bat but something else.
