+ <para>If a service is requested under a certain name
+ but no unit configuration file is found, systemd looks
+ for a SysV init script by the same name (with the
+ <filename>.service</filename> suffix removed) and
+ dynamically creates a service unit from that
+ script. This is useful for compatibility with
+ SysV.</para>
