I hated systemd to start with, however having used it for a while now,
I have found it's extremely powerful.

For example:

I am now running each part of sbbs separately, term, services, mail,
webserver and ftp. Each has their own startup script such as

sbbs-ftp.service, sbbs-term.service and they are controlled as a group
by sbbs.service

So I can start and stop each individually or as a group.

I do a similar thing with sexpots. I have 4 lines and each one runs via
an independent systemd file, but can be controlled as a group.

It's easy to run sbbs as a separate user, and set parameters for the
environment that it'll run in.

While it "may" make some things more convenient, any of that stuff can
be done the "old fashioned way" with scripts, probably in /etc/rc.d ,
and passing of command-line parameters (like start|stop|restart).
