You are perfectly right, the initscript should be converted to systemd 
format. But since so far my  interest in EL7 is close to nil... this 
will have to wait, at least until someone helps with the conversion or 
systemd drops support for the older format
Incidentally ATI provides a startup script which also uses the old format.
