With SUSE 12 SP3, I found that I needed to start converting my startup scripts from using INIT.D to SYSTEMD.
While SYSTEMD looks a lot cleaner, INIT.D was working. But it's time to convert. The script to startup VTAPE, as delivered by IBM is: linux91:/opt/IBM/VSEVTAPE # cat run.sh #!/bin/sh # --------------------------------------------------- # Startup file for VSE VTAPE Server # --------------------------------------------------- if [ -e "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ]; then JAVA_EXEC="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" else JAVA_EXEC=java fi export CLASSPATH=".:VirtualTape.jar:$CLASSPATH" "$JAVA_EXEC" com.ibm.vse.vtape.VirtualTapeServer "$@" And can be run from the command line without any problem. The service file is: linux91:/etc/systemd/system # cat vtape.service [Unit] Description=VSE VTAPE daemon After=graphical.target [Service] ExecStart=/opt/IBM/VSEVTAPE/run.sh [Install] WantedBy=graphical-user.target When I try to start it, I get the following logged in the journal file: Dec 06 14:03:36 linux91 systemd[1]: Started VSE VTAPE daemon. Dec 06 14:03:36 linux91 run.sh[17403]: Error: Could not find or load main class com.ibm.vse.vtape.VirtualTapeServer Dec 06 14:03:36 linux91 systemd[1]: vtape.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Dec 06 14:03:36 linux91 systemd[1]: vtape.service: Unit entered failed state. Dec 06 14:03:36 linux91 systemd[1]: vtape.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. When I run it manually, it starts up fine: linux91:/opt/IBM/VSEVTAPE # ./run.sh Licensed Materials - Property of IBM (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1998, 2010. All Rights Reserved.

VirtualTapeServer listening on port 2386 Enter 'quit' to stop the server I take it that SYSTEMCTL is running in a different environment than I am. Is there something in the service file where I can set the correct environment?
