Convert SysV Init scripts to Systemd Unit File

Raw

Let's say the SysV Init Script is called foo (the file /etc/init.d/foo):

Start the service through Systemd: systemctl start foo
systemd-sysv-generator will generate this file /run/systemd/generator.late/foo.service, copy this file to /etc/systemd/system by running: cp /run/systemd/generator.late/foo.service /etc/systemd/system/foo.service
Edit /etc/systemd/system/foo.service by running systemctl edit foo.service, add in the following line to foo.servie (this makes the service installable)
```
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Enable the server: systemd enable foo.service
