Also, forget about using a terminal printing "hello world" as your test
basis.  That's actually the opposite of what you want to do (probably).
Opening "GUI things" (terminals) with background processes, like
daemons being started by systemd, is harder than what it is you're
actually trying to achieve, and thus counterproductive as a test case.

Instead, just see if you can get the thing to log a line to a file,
which in bash would be:

echo "hello world" > /home/foo/testoutput

or even just create a file:

touch /home/foo/testfile

That way you can tell something is happening.  Or if raspbian has email
setup (I have no idea if it does):

mail -s 'it worked' foo at bar.com </dev/null
