[ale] systemd or not

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Meh, I just want it to make an attempt at starting/stopping and then get out of the way.  I'll take simplicity over functionality.  Honestly, the BSD-style approach is fine by me.  

I'm glad that SUSE put in wrappers to make chkconfig and insserv commands do the systemd equivalent, because it is going to take a while to break those old habits..

chkconfig only tells you if something is enabled; not if it's actually
running.  It doesn't handle dependencies and doesn't make sure if things
are in a sane state.

And it certianly doesn't make sure the application scripts do the right
things, track errors and otherwise ensure your dependencies are
actually running (or shutting down) properly.

As I've said, systemd isn't perfect.  But it's considerably less awful
than what it's replacing.
