Ah bugger. We've had on our radar to figure out a systemd solution. 
Looks like this is going to kick us into doing something.

I'm still liking the idea of a pulp-server script. That can take care of 
ensuring the proper services are running. That also gives us a place to 
hang our "init" operation off of since systemd won't support it.

I'd like to have this script be the one to run pulp-migrate too. Not 
saying to remove pulp-migrate, but to have this script be the one stop 
for all of the user's needs.

So supporting flags like:
* start
* stop
* init
* migrate (upgrade?)
* dump (bad choice of words; basically tar and gzip all of the relevant 
logs we'd want them to send us in a support case, how freakin cool would 
it be to have this in the script?)

Then we have a simple systemd script that calls into start and stop.
