I'm currently faking it with init.d-scripts-under-systemd for zebra,
sip, and ncip services, but I have created a couple real systemd config
files for koha-under-plack.  Converting sip/ncip/zebra from init.d
scripts is on my to-do list, but, well...

I'm no systemd expert (not even a systemd fan, but that's the way the
wind is blowing) and don't really know what I'm doing with systemd
service files, so they're very basic and could almost certainly be
improved upon, but they do work.
