  Has anyone got a script which will 'restart' all services which are
targetted to be started at boot - that way we can run the script by hand
in rc.local and make sure anything that systemd broke gets restarted
properly ...

  Better would be to somehow figure out (outside of systemd) which
services are actually not really running - and restart those.

  Please don't say replace systemd with initd ... :-)

  thanks.
