SysV, SystemD and UpStArt

SysV is a framework for scheduling tasks to start at boot time. It is beeing successed by systemd and upstart. This affects how services are started and stopped. With systemd you start a service like

/etc/init.d/ntp start

With SystemD you do it with

systemctl start ntp

what you want to do	how you do it with SysV	how you do it with SystemD
