Hi,
I ran into this twice in last 2 days, where HAproxy fails to start in
centOS 7.5. I compiled the latest stable from source and it did not have
any startup scripts in the tarball that I downloaded. So, I broke up an
older RPM file from fedora and used it /etc/init.d/haproxy script. It
works fine for stop/start/restart , etc. -- but I noticed that systemd is
killing haproxy , mostl likely on 'reload' .
Here is 'systemctl status haproxy' output:
haproxy.service - SYSV: HA-Proxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy which is
particularly suited for high availability environments.

Is there a different way this should be setup in centOS7.5 ? Some posts in
GGL suggests a systemd-wrapper for HAproxy, but I do not see that in source
tarball or I can't find it anywhere else.
Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thanks.
