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.
