SELinux certainly was causing fun and games. I copied your suggestion to /etc/systemd/user/timidity.service (mode 750) but it's still not happy:

    [root@tamar user]# systemctl status timidity
    timidity.service
       Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
       Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Th...

    ... Starting LSB: Add and remove timidity...
    ... timidity.service: control process exited, code=exited

status=203

    ... Failed to start LSB: Add and remove timidity.
    ... Unit timidity.service entered failed state.
    ... Stopped timidity.service.

I've wasted way too much time on this, I've put it in my .profile. The weirdness of systemctl will have to wait!

Thanks all

For the record based on your email chain this issue has little to nothing to do with systemd or systemctl but rather a poor script for some reason that I haven't troubleshooted in detail.

Remember you should never call /etc/init.d/script even on el6 as your environment and profile will pollute the scripts environment leading to inconsistent behaviour.

From the above it's clear after putting in place the service unit you did

not do systemctl daemon-reload to pick up the new unit - hence the clear error Not Found.
