I've been trying to get the timidity system running as a daemon.  I
wrote the following init script:

        #!/bin/sh
        #
        # timidity
        #
        ### BEGIN INIT INFO
        # Provides: timidity
        # Required-Start:
        # Required-Stop:
        # Default-Start:  2 3 4 5
        # Default-Stop: 0 1 6
        # Short-Description: Add and remove timidity
        # Description:
        ### END INIT INFO

        . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

        RETVAL=0
        PROG=timidity
        EXEC=/bin/$PROG
        PIDFILE=/var/run/timidity.pid

        function start {
                [[ -x $EXEC ]] || exit 5
                echo -n "Starting $PROG: "
                $EXEC -iAD
                RETVAL=$?
                echo
                return $RETVAL
        }

        function stop {
                echo -n "Stopping $PROG: "
                killproc $EXEC -TERM
                RETVAL=$?
                echo
                return $RETVAL
        }

        case "$1" in
                start)  start
                        RETVAL=$?
                        ;;
                stop)   stop
                        RETVAL=$?
                        ;;
                status)
                        status $PROG
                        RETVAL=$?
                        ;;
                restart)
                        stop
                        start
                        ;;
                reload)
                        stop
                        start
                        ;;
                *)
                        echo $"Usage: $prog     
{start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
                        exit 1
        esac
        exit $RETVAL


When run through systemctl during startup it fails:

        [root@tamar init.d]# systemctl status timidity
        timidity.service - LSB: Add and remove timidity
           Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/timidity)
           Active: active (exited) since Thu ...
          Process: 784 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/timidity start
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

        ... Starting LSB: Add and remove timidity...
        ... Starting timidity:
        ... jack_client_new: deprecated
        ... Started LSB: Add and remove timidity.
        ... Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
        ... Cannot connect to server request channel
        ... jack server is not running or cannot be started
        ... Couldn't open output device

But when run directly is works fine:

        [root@tamar init.d]# ./timidity start
        Starting timidity:
        TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
        Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3

If I use # service timidity start it also fails.

I _think_ that what is happening is that systemctl is stripping off
the switch.  I've spent a couple of hours searching for any links or
explanation and got nowhere.  I even knocked up a script to try and
separate the two parts:
        #!/bin/sh
        cd /etc/init.d
        ./timidity start
but to no avail.

If there is a simple fix could someone point me there, if it's complex
don't bother, I only need the daemon when running MIDI and can start
it by hand.
