I'll give it a go as soon as someone writes me an idiot level guide (I started off as a Windows admin) on how to fix the shit that systemd has done to my init's.
Given that systemd was greeted, well, much like a new version of Windows by the linux faithful, I'd have hoped someone would have mentioned "oh, by the way, half your services will no start any more, just because we couldn't be bothered to convert their startup scripts as part of the upgrade".
Oh well, backwards compatibility is for Microsoft, not linux it seems.
