Enter this line to the configuration file:
[Unit]
Description=Start x11vnc at startup.
After=multi-user.target
[Service]

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now reload the service
root@linuxhe:~# systemctl daemon-reload
now enable the VNC service
root@linuxhe:~# systemctl enable x11vnc.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/x11vnc.service → /lib/systemd/system/x11vnc.service.
