Yes - here is a pastebin with that script.

I already fixed. ;-) (I verified the typo against the contents of the RPM from LSI to be certain.) if ( "$rhel_ver" == "1" && "oel_ver" == "0" ) ; then should have been if ( "$rhel_ver" == "1" && "$oel_ver" == "0" ) ; then
That doesn't even make sense ... if it's both rhel and oel version 7 then systemctl start <Service> ... :/
Some lovely samples from it: #A function to stop a program. statuscheck() {
Let's import the standard distro function library! then ... mykillproc() {
Okay we might have a pid we think ... better kill it ...
kill -TERM $pid usleep 200000 if ps h $pid >/dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then sleep 1 if ps h $pid >/dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then sleep 3 ...Hmm we have a snmpd dependency... if [ -x /etc/init.d/snmpd ] ; then /etc/init.d/snmpd start

That's so badly written it wouldn't surprise me if it just barfed and gave up ...
I guess that syntax error I found should have been a tip-off. Thanks for analyzing LSI's SysV init script. ;-)
I didn't take the time to do that before you asked for a pastebin. I appreciate the help.
According to
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/sysv-generator/sysv-gener... though the journal (or syslog) should contain a Failed to create unit file <foo> if it couldn't translate it though ...
I briefly looked at (and grepped) logs and didn't find a message about failing to create unit file.
I'd seriously just give up on that and do the 3-5 line systemd unit that is soo much cleaner ... you could even have a proper snmpd.service dependency in place then!
Sounds like the best path.
Thank you everyone.
