sysvinit's script get replaced with unit files [0]. An example from my Arch Linux ARM system: [root@lasciel system]# cat multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service [Unit] Description=Network Time Service After=network.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=forking PrivateTmp=true PIDFile=/run/ntpd.pid ExecStart=/usr/bin/ntpd -g -u ntp:ntp -p /run/ntpd.pid Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Very much a text file.
