I'd prefer to see the init logic in one place ... and since systemd does 
not yet rule the world, the systemd .service files are not going to be 
that place.

I've had some success in reducing the extent to which we run the init 
scripts directly, both in production (installed) code and in QA.  So the 
pattern now is if an init script needs to be run we'll use systemctl if 
that seems appropriate, else fall back to the init scripts.

This works much better with Restart=yes in the mix.

I've also had some success recovering the messages that QA is expecting 
(from the journal) and this is all in a single wrapper, so it does not 
pollute hundreds of QA scripts, beyond changing

	$sudo $PCP_RC_DIR/pmfoo start
to
	_service pmfoo start


More work and testing needed, but I'm moving to a place where the init 
scripts work correctly with or without systemd.
