Thanks for your tips!
I now use such version:
%triggerun -- %{name}
if /bin/ls /etc/rc3.d/S*%{service_name} >/dev/null 2>&1; then
# Re-enable the service if it was enabled in sysv mode
/usr/bin/systemctl enable %{service_name} >dev/null 2>&1||:
/bin/rm /etc/rc3.d/S*%{service_name} >/dev/null 2>&1||:
/usr/bin/systemctl try-restart %{service_name} >dev/null 2>&1||:
fi
