when you still don't know that "systemctl status service" gives you the 
recent relevant journal output better do your homework before wwrite 
long emails

here i am - we migrated in 2012 to systemd for *all our infrastructure* 
and after invent our core-software 15 years ago, wrote all the server 
mnagment tools, maintainance and deployment stuff at my own i tend to 
call myself a "systems engineer"

get out of my sight with all that crappy initsripts for services

in the state of Fedora 15 systemd has a lot of problems but if you have 
in 2017 still serious *general* problems with it that are not irrelevant 
by the security/sandboxing features for servers the problem is in front 
of the screen
