10.5 on Ubuntu 16.04

[flickerfly]

It appears that client 10.05 works fine on Ubuntu 16.04 server, but the startup scripts do not operate properly.

$ sudo systemctl start rcl
Failed to start rcl.service: Unit rcl.service not found.
$ sudo service rcl start
Failed to start rcl.service: Unit rcl.service not found.

Has anyone built startup scripts for the systemd yet?

Is this related to the use of Upstart instead of Systemd?

Here is what I ended up coming up with. It should be put in /etc/systemd/system/

Other way around. Ubuntu 16.04 uses Systemd where it used to use Upstart. The one thing I can't replicate is gathering the status from the service in the same way as was done before.
