Thanks Andrew.
One more problem solved, as I discovered last thing yesterday there was a missing "[Install]". Using your copy of the httpd service I cut-and-pasted it onto the end of the service file you'd given me earlier and at last was able to load the service. It wouldn't run, but at least it was some progress.
I ran systemctl daemon-reload and rebooted.
It is still failing though:
# systemctl status timidity timidity.service - timidity daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/timidity.service;enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat ... Process: 955 ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID(code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE) Process: 790 ExecStart=/usr/bin/timidity -iAD (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 790 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
<snip>
The process exited, so systemd thinks the service has exited. You have a '-D' option, which probably means daemonize, but you haven't set an appropriate Type declaration in the service file.
If the service offers it, the best way to do simple services with systemd is with *foreground* options in ExecStart. Then set Type=simple. STDOUT/STDERR all goes to the journal, making it easier to see what happens if the service legitimately fails.
Take a look at packaged files in /usr/lib/systemd/system - plenty of examples to work from.

Is $MAINPID defined in your pidfile?
It sounds to me like only the 'kill' is exiting with a non-zero exit code because the variable is undefined.
