Hi Pete,

systemctl is a very common management service command on linux and I'm guessing 
a number of your other services use it as well (and is very well documented 
online by users). Another one is chckconfig (they both essentially do the same 
thing). In our edex start up script, the first time EDEX is ran, it actually 
already sets edex_postgres, httpdp-pypies, qpidd, and edex_camel to start on 
boot already. Are you sure they don't already start on boot? Here's our default 
configuration:

[awips@edex1 ~]$  chkconfig --list

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
      systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
      systemd configuration.

      If you want to list systemd services use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
      To see services enabled on particular target use
      'systemctl list-dependencies [target]'.

edex_camel      0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
edex_postgres   0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
httpd-pypies    0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
qpidd           0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off


Again both these commands are very common and can be read up the differences:
