Thanks Ashton, I actually was in the middle of tackling this when your email came in! ;-) I took a different approach and decided to let the system generate the service file for me. In case anyone wants to follow my footsteps here is what I did -
Add the following init info comments to the beginning of the james startup script - ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: james # Required-Start: $network $syslog $time # Required-Stop: $network $syslog $time # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Description: Initscript for Apache James Mail Server ### END INIT INFO Next create a soft link from /etc/init.d to the james startup script - ln -s /mail/apache-james-3.2/james-server-app-3.2.0/bin/james /etc/init.d/james Next install links to the james script into the various init.d runlevels cd /etc/init.d insserv james Next set up the systemd files from the new init.d configuration. systemctl daemon-reload and this is what this magic incantation cooked up for me - cat /run/systemd/generator.late/james.service # Automatically generated by systemd-sysv-generator [Unit] Documentation=man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) SourcePath=/etc/init.d/james Description=LSB: Apache James :: Server :: App Before=multi-user.target multi-user.target multi-user.target graphical.target After=network-online.target time-sync.target Wants=network-online.target time-sync.target [Service] Type=forking Restart=no TimeoutSec=5min IgnoreSIGPIPE=no KillMode=process GuessMainPID=no RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/etc/init.d/james start ExecStop=/etc/init.d/james stop I will copy this file to /usr/systemd/system and tweak it a bit more but I think it got me in the ballpark... At least I can now invoke systemctl commands on the james service. I will test some more and then go conquer the next mountain (probably SSL/TLS) ...
