Hi again Alberto, With systemd it will be as easy as creating additional unit files ( one for each memcached instance) with its corresponding config file. That should allow to stop / start / restart each memcache instance individually while also being systemd compliant. I just wanted to say thank you again for your advice. Worked like a charm!

I really appreciate the info you've provided and have stored that in my notes for myself and others to use.
